Established in 1984, Collective has been fundamental to the cultural vitality of Scotland by supporting new work by artists who are at a pivotal stage in their development.
Their programme of exhibitions, walks, events and off-site projects presents contemporary art in all its diversity.
They create opportunities for participation, mutual learning and dialogue by opening out processes of art production, connecting with other fields and encouraging new developments.
The Fruitmarket Gallery
The Fruitmarket Gallery programmes exhibitions with the best Scottish and International artists and enriches these with a wide variety of cultural and educational events. They are committed to making contemporary art accessible without under-estimating audiences or compromising art or the ideas it enacts. They create a welcoming space for people to think with art in ways that are meaningful to them – for free.
