For real life circus excitement, come along to a fun-filled evening of performance from the circus artists, musicians and performers at Full Cirqle & Friends presents: Leith Loves Circus (25th).

There are two exhibitions of note at the OOTB Drill Hall during March. Out of the Blueprint presents Rap Zine – a brand new exhibition of riso printed artwork by Edinburgh-based illustrators (until 25th). Syn Festival, a multi arts Greek festival, presents Metamorphis/Transformation (9th-22nd).

    Over the course of 2024 Out of the Blue will continue to offer opportunities for artists and members of the community to learn, participate and earn income.

    We use the space we have developed in 6 buildings in Edinburgh for studios, workshops, classes, projects, exhibitions, social enterprises, events, clubs, music making, markets, a cafe and more.

    Our all year round activity helps create the culture of the city, supporting the local economy and having positive social impact for the thousands of individuals and organisations we work with.

    We would humbly accept a financial donation, however small, in support of our work.
