Leith Makers has enjoyed a summer of creative talent, with beautiful and different exhibitions from local artists, such as Susan Mitchell (and friends), Callum Russell, and young artist Achille Banos.

One of the pleasures of being in the heart of Leith is the wealth of local creative talent - and we have so many excellent and stimulating exhibitions coming up - again - all from locally based artists.

First up is Miriam Morris's evocative Face-Off exhibition - where 26 portrait photographers get to capture each other.  Portraiture is always so immediately personal, and engaging - and we are so pleased to be helping bring this idea to life.  Face Off opens on 18th September for just a week, so catch it while you can.

Face Off is swiftly followed by a very different joint exhibition from Portobello artist (and Leith Makers stockist) Mare Trella, and Donna Riddington.  Flying in the Dreams of Others is an exploration, through video and drawn and painted works, of the artists' responses to the social and natural environments they inhabit. The works on show offer critical viewpoints while exploring alternative, queer realities and dream-like spaces. Flying in the Drams of Others runs from 25th Septemer to 6th October.
