Exhibition
'Reflection' highlights the inspiring work of 22 artists and makers who have been supported by the Visual Arts Awards and Craft Maker Awards run by the City of Edinburgh Council in partnership with Creative Scotland since 2000. As well as reflecting on the talent that the city has supported throughout the first decade, the exhibition gives participating artists and makers the opportunity to reflect on their own development and creative practice over this period.

Selected through an open call for entries that attracted many high quality submissions, the resulting exhibition includes a varied and dynamic group of artists and makers, ranging from emerging artists to more established professionals and brings together a diverse range of disciplines and mediums. Painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installation, film and new media, combine with ceramics, glassmaking, jewellery and textiles to provide a small glimpse of the breadth of skill and imagination that the city has to offer. As many of the exhibiting pieces are for sale, there is the exciting opportunity to invest in Edinburgh’s talent and support the city’s thriving art and craft sector.
An engaging education programme accompanies the exhibition, including professional development events and workshops for adults and families.
A modest publication has been produced and is available for purchase.
Included in the exhibition are works by:
