Collective, Edinburgh

Collective is a free contemporary art space that brings creative new perspectives to the city of Edinburgh. Situated in a heritage observatory, Collective develops and presents world-class exhibitions, events, workshops and discussions from ground-breaking local and international artists. We run artist-led activities for young people, as well as the industry-leading development programme for emerging creative practitioners, Satellites. Founded in 1984 as an artist-run collective, Collective has a spirit of care, equality and creative freedom at its core. We believe that creativity is for everyone, and from our home on Edinburgh’s iconic Calton Hill we connect with local, national and international artists and audiences to share ideas and inspire change.
