Birdvox
"We have had a very productive week of collaboration, writing and rehearsing material for live performance. Birdvox are a new outfit born from the Northern Flyway project, core members include Sarah Hayes, Charlotte Printer, Jenny Sturgeon and Inge Thomson and while birds and nature still feature heavily in our set we have a rack of new material examining the human condition.  Heriot Toun really is the most inspiring space, which is why we return time and again!"
 
Book of the here and now.

Book of the here and now.

We reckon we're overdue in showing books which highlight what's relevant in the arts right now. Published in 2024 by the RIBA, we think this is one of them: 100 women: architects in practice
By showcasing 100 exceptional architects – who happen to be women – this book provides a flagship reference to inspire and support everyone working in the profession, no matter how they identify.

We'll also have a real copy of the book in the studio for residents to peruse.

A welcome message to our visitors.

A welcome message to our visitors.

We want to take this opportunity to say that Heriot Toun has always and will always welcome people of every nationality, colour, creed, gender - we value every one of you. Your art - whatever your medium - enriches not only your life but the lives of others. Please don't stop making it. 

Regardless of what governments are saying and doing or how crazy the world seems to be in general, let's not forget the good stuff and the good people, of which there are many. Scotland is an inclusive country and we welcome every one of you. 

The Cairn at the Bottom of the Track

The Cairn at the Bottom of the Track

Literally at the bottom of our track. An ongoing and occasional space to show work and have small scale events; a viewing platform on a purpose-built stone cairn, for locals, visitors, kids, grown up kids, cyclists, dogs, passers-by and anyone else who's interested. All welcome.
