Well, it's enjoying a gestation period that a blue whale would blush at, but An Ordinary Place is finally going to have a presence on the high street, in the shape of a deliciously compact and bijou gallery and studio near Ocean Terminal in Edinburgh!

Currently an explosion of plasterboard and timber, the new premises - when finished - are intended to offer opportunities, to as broad a community as possible, to create and/or display photographic images. Rank amateurs, hardened professionals and all points in between are welcomed to give it a go at AOP:Dockside (hmm... must come up with a better location ID...).

Exactly what that will all look like isn't set in tablets of stone. Rather, the idea will be to open the doors and see what the creatives of Leith, Edinburgh, and Scotland in general, can bring to the party. There will discussions, possibly drinks, and definitely much head scratching, and in due course something will happen. Pretty vague, eh? Nothing is off the table.

Got an idea you want to pitch? It could be a short series of related images. It could be a full exhibition. It could be a snap of your pet dug. Or maybe you'll just want to hire the studio for your own use. Whatever, get in touch via enquiries@anordinaryplace.com and we'll talk...
