Plans approved for Jupiter Artland upgrades

Plans for a new gallery, distillery and visitor centre at Jupiter Artland have been approved.

The new facilities will function as the park’s primary entrance and aim to facilitate the extension of its educational programmes.

The 100-acre sculpture park west of Edinburgh is aiming to secure its long-term, sustainable future.

The development will include a café, shop and a gallery space, with integrated craft distillery and tasting area.

The micro distillery should allow Jupiter Artland to be open year round for the first time.

Organic Architects have designed the buildings to match the scale of existing agricultural buildings, with founder and director Gareth Roberts explaining: “The new gallery will provide a haven for hosting world-class art and artists, with the buildings’ exteriors harmoniously echoing the park’s green surroundings.”

Nicky Wilson, director of Jupiter Artland, commented: “This is the next exciting step in the continuing of Jupiter Artland Foundation’s work to reach every child in Scotland and create a sustainable future for Jupiter in Scotland.”

Construction is expected to start later this year, with an anticipated completion date in 2025.
