Gossip, chat and rumour from the gallery floor
I The rush is on for WASP studios to spend its £250,000 award from Scottish Enterprise Edinburgh and Lothian at its Patriot Hall premisis in Edinburgh. The building, which was nearly lost last year to flat developers, was saved after a hard fought campaign resulted in a grant of £500,000 from the City of Edinburgh Council. The recent extra cash is a further boost to the space which holds studios for 50 artists. The money will be spent on creating 15 more studios and stopping the root from leaking.
