Colour the Sky – Edinburgh

 

The original Project:

We can’t wait for you to participate in our project. Want to carry a balloon to float above you? You can reserve one or more balloons for a donation of £3 or more. If you book in advance, we’ll even through in an extra balloon! This donation goes to support our projects which support local artists and arts opportunities in Scotland.

Be an artist with a single balloon and be a part of a special performance-art event where local artists, and the Edinburgh community will come together to decorate the sky over our heads with balloons. We’ve done a bit of research on the topic, so please don’t let go! Instead, move around the meadows creating colourful patterns in the air above you.

s1Come support local artists, local business, and local social enterprise by making participating in our massive performance art event. You’ll become one of many artists who will work together to change the colour of the sky and in doing so, help Pop Up! Scotland create more opportunities for creativity in Edinburgh and Scotland.

Come down to the Meadows and be a art of this unique evening. Even if you don’t buy a balloon, you can come down and find a fun selection of independent pop up shops displaying their unique products. Relax and enjoy free and energetic yoga classes or be part of a series of unique sewing workshops where you can test your craft skills by creating something fun.

Meet us at Pavilion Cafe after 5 pm, lay your blankets, fire up your BBQ and bring anything else to make your evening even more enjoyable. While laying in the sun, let the local DJ heroes set the right mood for this spectacular evening ahead.
