Artists in Haddington to hold open studios weekend

Artists in Haddington, Scotland, are organizing an open studios weekend on September 6 and 7, showcasing their work across seven venues including homes, a garage, a gallery, an arts hub, and an arts centre. Organizer Alistair McIntyre, who previously ran a similar event in Musselburgh, has signed up 15 artists for the event, with participants including Jacqui Wilkie, Fiona Lambert, Sheena Phillips, and others working in media such as painting, needle felting, printmaking, and sculpture.

Turkish power plant reborn as regional cultural hub

A century-old power plant in Merzifon, northern Turkey, has been transformed into a cultural hub called Motorhane, opening late last month with a concert and an exhibition of local artists. The building retains its original generator, pressure valve, and switch room, with unplastered walls and concrete floors awaiting restoration. The project is backed by the Motorhane Culture Network (MOKA), supported by Ortaklaşa—a cultural development body administered by the Istanbul Culture and Arts Foundation (İKSV)—and funded by a €3 million EU grant. Other MOKA members include the Sinop Sustainable Development Association, which runs the Sinopale biennial.
