Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.
Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.
Our current project - The Big Welcome - is supported by Creative Scotland, Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership and Edinburgh City Libraries
Big Things on the Beach is a Charity Registered in Scotland (Scottish Charity Number: SC035107) new host

And, by the way, software is installed. A central heating system is installed. A washing machine is installed. Art isn't.
But see if you get paid for this tosh, where do I write for money? I reckon I can manage some really stupid ideas as well, so if some grant committee hasn't heard of the credit crunch, I'll have some as well.
