JUPITER+ brings world-class artwork and creative learning opportunities to Perth, Ayr, and across Scotland.
Welcome to our bold new programme, which seeks to support young people across the country through world-class commissions and learning programmes nationwide. We launched the initiative last October (2022) in Perth with a commission by artist Rachel Maclean and a targeted creative learning programme aimed at 15 – 25 year olds.
The programme is powered by the belief that everyone should have access to the best of international art at their doorstep, tackle the diminishing uptake in creative subjects, and our mission to inspire the next generation of artists in Scotland.
Jupiter Artland is already home to an acclaimed learning programme delivering year-round opportunities for learners of all ages and welcoming over 30,000 individuals for free sessions at our home in rural West Edinburgh. JUPITER+ seeks to expand the impact of this work by evolving a commissioning platform which will see some of the world’s most compelling and exciting artists bringing contemporary art into communities, and classrooms and amplify the voice of young people in the role culture plays in our lives as active citizens.
This year we will take Jupiter+ to Ayr and introduce Jupiter+: Orbit, a programme for young people to think creatively, develop transferable skills and learn about the creative industries.
