On a Small Scale

Presenting our annual December exhibition ‘On a Small Scale’, this show will include all new, original works by emerging and established Open Eye Artists.

Through its 25 year history this exhibition has become a much-loved highlight in the Edinburgh art calendar. The gallery invites selected artists to submit unframed works in any medium with the only restriction limiting the dimensions to 15 x 21 cm, the classic ‘postcard’ size. Placing the most established names in Scottish art alongside artists at the beginning of their careers, this exhibition celebrates the scope of contemporary art in Scotland. Displayed unframed, in a grid, exhibiting artists show works that either relate to another body of work, or are individual insights into their practice. Without theme or restraint, the exhibition covers a huge variety of medium and content. Over 400 works will be on display. With prices starting at under £100, this exhibition offers a fantastic opportunity for new collectors to acquire original, affordable artwork alongside established collectors looking to add to their collection.

Please note that for the duration of this exhibition the On a Small Scale works are only available to view in the gallery and are not available online.
