A landmark £5.36 million UK touring art exhibition, "Earthly Paradise: Radical Living in the UK," part of the Going Places scheme coordinated by Art Fund, will conclude at Dovecot Studios in Edinburgh from March to September 2028. The exhibition is one of several initiatives under Going Places, which also includes "Making Her Mark: A Celebration of Women in Art" launching April 30, 2026 at Penlee House Gallery & Museum in Penzance, touring to Kirkcaldy Galleries in 2027, and "Communities of Making" at Inverness Museum & Art Gallery exploring Scottish wool traditions, plus "New Faces New Focus" at Aberdeenshire Farming Museum.
The exhibition model prioritizes touring and sustainability over one-off shows, aiming to make major art accessible to wider audiences across the UK. Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Julia Rausing Trust, Going Places represents a collaborative effort among museums to share collections, resources, and expertise, forging a more sustainable future for exhibitions and empowering communities nationwide.
