Promenade Exchange
The Promenade Residency Exchange is a no-money, trust-based opportunity for artists, writers, gardeners, curators, and other creatives. It offers two ways to take part:
1. House & Garden Residency
When we’re away for our own projects, our seafront home in Portobello, Edinburgh, is open to artists and creatives looking for a change of scene — a vibrant place to work, think, and connect. It’s a light-touch residency: you’re welcome to make it your temporary studio or retreat. There are no formal expectations — just sea views, a lively promenade, and plenty of inspiration at your doorstep.
In exchange for looking after the house and garden, I’m happy to offer curatorial advice and connections through my network in Edinburgh and across Scotland.
2. Artist-to-Artist Exchange
I’m also keen on direct swaps — trading time in my 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
