Fringe Venue 209 Opens with the Young (North) British Artists

On Friday night we became Venue 209 in the Fringe Festival. We opened the doors and the corks at 7pm and the turnout was our busiest yet. There was a great buzz surrounding the fact that the 16 artists that were exhibiting, were all either recent graduates or emerging Scottish talent. Figurative artists are relatively overlooked in Edinburgh so it was exciting to have such a big celebration of this genre. The prosecco flowed and the music blared a sight you wouldn't have seen on Dundas Street in the past but hopefully you'll see a lot more of in the future. Thanks to everyone who came along and supported us and made the evening so unforgettable.
