CREATIVE
LANDSCAPE

Parabola have a strong commitment to cultural engagement with Edinburgh’s artists and cultural institutions which complements our major sculpture programme and provides opportunities for young and emerging Scottish-based artists.

The Arts Strategy for Edinburgh Park is ambitious and provides activity for each phase of the development to incrementally build a respected cultural reputation for Edinburgh Park as a new destination within Edinburgh’s world-class cultural offer.

Sculpture at
Edinburgh Park

Sculpture at Edinburgh Park plays an integral part of the wider Placemaking strategy. With sculpture pieces by Ann Christopher, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, William Tucker, Louise Plant and many others.

We are encouraging a change of perception of Edinburgh Park to a New Cultural Quarter and destination for places and spaces to be enjoyed by all.

Art and sculpture creates a colourful and vibrant environment at Edinburgh Park. Bringing together an eclectic range of pieces from artists including Ann Christopher, Louise Plant, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, William Tucker, Bruce Beasley, Scotland’s Dovecot Studios and many others – with more art programmed to arrive. The landscape and buildings are intended to surprise at every turn.

Parabola have been delighted to engage with local, national and international artists in the commission of new pieces for Edinburgh Park. Included in the commissions are “Dancer After Degas” by William Tucker, a beautiful based on Leon Kossoff’s painting ‘Minerva Protects Pax from Mars’ by Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh and partnerships with local poets and schools.
