Collective brings people together to look at, think about and produce contemporary art in a new kind of city observatory.

Established in 1984, Collective has long supported new work by artists who are at a pivotal stage in their development. In November 2018, Collective opened their new home on Calton Hill, featuring the restored City Observatory, City Dome, and a purpose-built exhibition space. The programme of exhibitions, walks, and events presents contemporary art in all its diversity. Collective provides artists with the opportunity to make new work and audiences the chance to see it here first.
