Promenade Exchange

The Promenade Residency Exchange is a no-money, trust-based opportunity for artists, writers, gardeners, curators, and other creatives.

House & Garden Residency
When we are away for our own projects, our seafront home in Portobello, Edinburgh, is available to artists and creatives looking for a change of scene — a place to work, think, and connect. In exchange for looking after the house and garden, I like to offer curatorial advice and connections through my network in Edinburgh and across Scotland.

It’s a light-touch residency: you’re welcome to make it your temporary studio or retreat. No money is exchanged and there are no formal expectations — just sea views, a lively promenade, and plenty of inspiration at your doorstep.

Artist-to-Artist Exchange
Occasionally we also can do direct swaps — trading time in our Portobello home for time in other artists’ spaces elsewhere. The idea is simple: a network of mutual generosity where we share our homes and creative environments without money changing hand.
