The Shutter Project

The Shutter Project (2012 - ongoing) links up contemporary artists and local businesses to create a bespoke work of art on the shutter.

The Shutter Project was launched at the 2012 edition of the LeithLate festival with the project’s first shutter artwork by Jamie Johnson on Gamesmaster on Leith Walk.

A further 9 artworks have been installed in Leith since then, with Fraser Gray on Word of Mouth, Bernie Reid on Fair Trade Coffee, Skint Richie on Origano, David Lemm on Paradigm Shift (now Trade Cut), Liana Moran on Inner (City) Sanctum, Omar Zingaro Bhatia on Cafe Nemrut, Fraser Douglas on Blue Tiger Tattoo, Erin McGrath on Elvis Shakespeare, Natasha Russell on The Sonic Lodge and Emer Tumilty on Spilt Milk on Great Junction Street and most recently KMG on Bier Hoose.
