3 small artist awards of £500 each are available to artists with connections to Portobello, Joppa, Brunstane or the Scottish Borders.
Imaginative site specific proposals around the concept of ‘Journey Lines’ for one of the proposed locations of Brunstane Station, and sites near to old disused railway stations at Portobello and Joppa, are sought.
Invited artist, Dr Chris Dooks, will also be creating a new work for ‘Journey Lines’ relating to journeying and travel, around issues of dementia.
Full details about the project and how to apply can be found at our website here.
‘Journey Lines’ Art Rail Commissions will run during August and September 2016, funded by ScotRail’s Art & Cultural Fund, as part of Art Walk Porty.
