The Art of Being Human – Art Exhibition

Through a live art-making exhibition (local artists creating their work live throughout the day), creative wellness workshops and inspiring talks we will explore and celebrate the creative process of art and life.

As humans, we’re not perfect, finished works of art. We are constantly in process. Living in the mess, changing constantly and experiencing our own beautifully unique journey. Throughout the ages, humans have been using art to process, reflect and explore our human experience. But if we are to truly make use of art in this way, we must explore and celebrate the process of art-making itself.

Come and celebrate the creative process of art and life. Connect with others. Connect with yourself. Drop in for 5 minutes or stay all day. Bring a friend or make new ones. Tickets are on a donation basis (pay what you can) and the bar and food truck will be open.

All profits raised will be going to The Alma Project, a local charity who run arts groups and creative therapies for adults in Edinburgh experiencing mental health challenges.

“Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life. This results not merely from Life’s imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realize that energy.”

– Oscar Wilde
