A very tired looking Victorian theatre

The King’s Theatre in Edinburgh reopens later this year after a several years long renovation. I’m guessing they’ve yet to do the outside because it’s giving me bingo hall about to be condemned energy.

We’re looking at art that explores home for this week’s #OnlineArtExchange with @artukdotorg.bsky.social.

📸Our pick is Paul Duke’s No Ruined Stone. Duke received the RSA Morton Award in 2016. This work references the housing scheme where he was born and lived until the age of 19.

Grassmarket Community Picture House, ‘An open door to great cinema for everyone, in the heart of Edinburgh’, supported by Edinburgh Film Guild. www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/grassmarke...

British Order of Ancient Free Gardeners:
Rose of Edinburgh Lodge, about 1890.
