Edinburgh New Town is home to a plethora of art galleries selling one-of-a-kind paintings, sculptures, ceramics and decorative pieces created by Scottish, British and international artists. NT Art Month aims to shine a light on these galleries and encourage art-lovers to support commercial spaces that help nurture artists of the past, present and future. 

The inaugural event will take place across ten galleries located on Dundas Street, Summer Place and Howard Street from Thursday 8 – Friday 30 June, with Bacco Wine Merchants also getting involved by hosting a pop-up photography exhibition by James Glossop titled A Means To An End.
