A major new contest is being launched to help create new works of public art for a new “cultural quarter” taking shape in Edinburgh. It is aimed at finding new pieces for a vast site which is already home to work by some of Britain's leading artists.

​

Tony Hordon, Parabola’s managing director, said: “Edinburgh Park provides a unique opportunity to showcase the true value of art, and culture from wellbeing to society and our community, with its ability to boost and improve our everyday lives.

“We’ve assembled quite an art collection with local, national and indeed international importance. It is important to build on this with continued support of the arts, particularly through new and emerging artists.”
