A group of artists and creative business have come together in hopes of saving their spaces in a collective studio in Dalry, after owners said they’d be closing the place down.
Tenants of the Working Artists Studio Provision Scotland (WASPS) building on West Park Place were informed in January of a possible closure, with the business citing ‘escalating maintenance costs’. On Monday, artists were joined by community groups and locals to launch a campaign to save their spaces.
The studios were owned by Edinburgh Council until 2021, now with over 60 local creatives housed in the two large industrial buildings.
