Wasps Patriothall Studios and Gallery
Wasps Patriothall Studios and Gallery is a vibrant creative hub nestled in the heart of Stockbridge, Edinburgh. Housed in a red-brick former bakery, the building was transformed in 2004 into a dynamic studio complex supporting over fifty artists. The gallery, located at the entrance, hosts a year-round programme of exhibitions showcasing contemporary art across disciplines—from painting and printmaking to ceramics and mixed media. Originally founded in the late 1980s by resident artists, the gallery has evolved into a welcoming space for both Wasps tenants and the wider artistic community. Its exhibitions often reflect the diversity and depth of Scotland’s creative talent, while regular Open Studios events invite the public to engage directly with artists and their workspaces. Managed by Wasps Studios, a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting the arts across Scotland, Patriothall offers a unique blend of heritage, creativity, and community. It remains a cornerstone of Edinburgh’s cultural landscape, quietly tucked away yet rich in artistic energy.
