Public Art: Edinburgh Park

Public Art

Parabola is commited to a progressive programme of commissioning and placing public art, placing it at the heart of our places, and the welbeing of our people.

Commissioning Art

We approach commissioning art in our public spaces as an opportunity to enrich people’s lives at work, and at home.

At the heart of our forward-thinking development at Edinburgh Park is our significant collaboration with artists and poets. From the Dovecot Studio tapestry commission to William Tucker’s sculpture commission for 1 New Park Square’s Civic Square, we continue to promote the arts and support poets with our street naming strategy and bi-annual zine for Edinburgh Park.
