The Embassy
An Edinburgh-based, non-profit, artist-run space dedicated to supporting emerging artists.
The Embassy is an Edinburgh-based, non-profit, artist-run space dedicated to supporting emerging artists; it has worked with artists such as Jenny Hogarth, Kim Coleman, Alasdair Gray, Marcus Coates and Brandon Vickerd. Through the gallery's diverse programme of exhibitions and events, it provides a platform for inspiring local and international artists to exhibit and meet. Run by a rolling committee that changes biennially, continual change fuels the gallery's development. As The Embassy prepares to move to new premises, the gallery's reputation as a dynamic Edinburgh art space is central to the current committee's vision. The relocation is an opportunity for The Embassy to redefine and develop, not only as a gallery, but also as a resource for an active audience.
