R2UC Art Trail
We have been engaged by Balfour Beatty to create an art trail along the Roseburn to Union Canal Active Travel Path, in consultation with Edinburgh City Council, and with match-funding from the Sustrans Art Roots Fund. We have completed a phase of community engagement, and are now in the process of commissioning two murals, a mosaic and a sculpture for the site.
Engaging with the community
We have completed three rounds of community engagement:
1. On-site interviews and collection of ideas and themes.
2. Community feedback on artist designs, which informed our decisions behind the two large mural commissions.
3. Engagement with local schools and businesses to bring together the site and create the backgrounds for the artworks.
Local history and local ideas
Smaller interventions will be scattered across the site, highlighting the history of the area, and rain paint for when the weather turns dour.
