Background and history
Space Artworks was set up as a social enterprise in 2012. We ran a successful gallery and studio in Morningside, Edinburgh selling art and local crafts. We supported artists with a disability, long term illness and carers to make and promote their artwork alongside other Scottish makers. We began with 20 artists and by 2017 we regularly supported over 50 artists and makers. We ran regular one to one art sessions for adults with additional needs, staged over 20 exhibitions and ran community arts and craft workshops for adults and kids.
After 5 fantastic and rewarding years we closed the gallery in Morningside in order to become more sustainable.
