YoYo Café has been awarded a generous Young Start grant from the Big Lottery Fund. The award will enable us to open the café for five days a week over the course of 2017, creating more training and work experience opportunities for current and new UpMo students. We are really excited about what this grant will make possible.

Sophia Ann West at Flamingosaurus Rex
Launching Friday 10th February, Flamingosaurus Rex is proud to host the presentation of a new body of work by Sophia Ann West.
An exploration of colour, tone and dimension, from canvas to glass – the exhibition might best be described as a journey of encapsulation.
That most evocative of nature’s moods, the sunset, is Sophia’s inspiration; canvas the vehicle by which it takes shape. Pockets of colour and form are then captured and extruded, reborn into their native dimension by a process of transmutation at the hands of the glass artist.

Artists Call for Submissions: Scottish Identity (Post Brexit)
Scottish Identity
March 31 – April 20, 2017
23 Atholl Crescent
Edinburgh, EH3 8HQ
“Where is the coward that would not dare to fight for such a land as Scotland,” Sir Walter Scott asked in the 18th Century. Yet, what does it mean to be Scottish in 2017? Does one have to be born in Scotland to feel Scottish? In a particularly tense period following Brexit, the possibility of another independence referendum, and aftershocks from the United States election, Scottish Identity asks artists to examine their own views of Scotland and her people. We welcome artists of any background to explore their own associations in the aim of presenting a body of work that exposes the nuanced dimensions of this unique country. Works may directly engage with social issues, but they can also address themes such as the natural landscape, historic traditions, personal experience, notions of ancestry, patriotism and politics.
