Leith Late 2012 is coming soon!

Thought we would throw this your way.....'LeithLate, Leith’s annual multi-arts event is back, returning to a variety of different venues up and down Leith Walk on the evening of Thursday 28th June, and now it’s even bigger, better and LATER than before! Newly extended to a three-hour event running between 6-9pm, and taking on an extra seven venues on top of last year, bringing the quota to a whopping sixteen, plus a new afterparty venue with another great line-up of some of the most exciting emerging talent, this year’s LeithLate is set to blow your socks off !'There are also a number of new and exciting developments at this year’s event, including the introduction of a trio of site-specific installations in three local businesses, a mobile ‘white-van gallery’ touring the rest of the LeithLate venues and the launch of a shutter-art project, in collaboration with iloveleith.

LeithLate is essentially one huge art opening, with numerous free exhibitions and events taking place across a plethora of Leith venues in the space of just one night, many of which are opening their doors later than usual in order to take part. The event is directly proceeded by an afterparty at Henderson Halls, where Scottish Album of the Year-shortlisted Remember Rememberare headlining, with proceeds from ticket sales feeding back into the event, supporting the people that make LeithLate happen. Media Partners The Skinny will be printing a LeithLate route map reflecting all participating venues designed by artist David Lemm (www.davidlemm.co.uk), plus a preview of the event in the June edition of the magazine'
