"For anyone who will be in Edinburgh over the summer why not take a break from the festival crowds and head down to the beach…"
As part of the Big Things on the Beach, Portobello's public art initiative, Amber Roome Contemporary Art has selected an exciting group of artists for the Garden Gallery exhibition.

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.
