Edinburgh's City Art Centre has announced its 2026 exhibition programme, featuring five distinct shows. Highlights include a multimedia installation by Edinburgh-based Mona Yoo exploring the building's history as a former newspaper production site; a retrospective of Jean F. Watson's bequest showcasing over 1,000 acquired Scottish artworks; a photography exhibition by Sandra George, a black female photographer and community worker; a new moving-image commission by Rachel McBrinn and Jonathan Webb responding to the North Bridge restoration; and a display of recent acquisitions to the city's fine art collection.

Inspiring Connections

An exhibition titled "Jean F. Watson: An Artistic Legacy" at the City of Edinburgh showcases over 40 historical and contemporary Scottish artworks acquired through the Jean F. Watson Bequest Fund.
