The money raised will help to pay artists to create new works for the Beach, Promenade and High Street areas of Portobello (Edinburgh’s seaside) responding to the local landscape and create a permanent home for Lauren Fox’s ‘Tidal Octopus, Cressida’ at the end of Bath Street groyne.

The 3-day Artwalk Porty event also includes artists’ open studios, popup shows in local shops, and a maker’s market at the Dalriada, all arranged around a local walk. Last year more than 2,000 people attended our inaugural event.
