Art, Architecture and Amenity
The Gallery at Eskmills The Gallery at Eskmills is an interior space overlooking the piazza supplying a dedicated space and venue for the visual arts, and more. Throughout the Eskmills location examples of various artists' work are displayed within this stunning business environment. ESKIMO (2008) exhibition ESKIMO is the launch exhibition by Polarcap and is the first of an annual programme of art, music, drama and dance using the beautiful outdoor space as well as the interior for the visual and performing arts outside the traditional circuit of galleries.Further details can be viewed under the section EVENTS.
Photography Throughout the website and various publications a variety of photographers have been invited or commissioned. The new section Image gallery features some examples of this work and will profile the photgraphers involved. Photographer Colin Moss has been invited by Isertal Limited to keep a full pictorial record of the final stages of Eskmill's development. Colin, a management consultant by profession, is a keen amatuer photographer - although always open to professional assignments. Throughout the website and the newsletters we are featuring some of his work so far, which will later form a photographic library of the development of this Grade 2 listed site. Colin is also using the site as a location for other photographic works in which he is involved. As the final phases of development near completion, Eskmills offers a unique setting with a contemporary slant, which the developers are already working hard to encourage as a location for fashion photography, video shoots and product launches. We will also be hosting events during the Edinburgh festival.
Performing Arts The Courtyard at Eskmills will see events hosted over the year. The space will be potentially used for exhibitions and performances and involving groups as diverse as the local community up to The Edinburgh Festival. Sponsoring the arts Isertal is also using the Eskmills brand name to sponsor arts events outwith Eskmills.
Architecture The main buildings face onto a central 73m x 30m stone flagged Courtyard Piazza, with reflective pools, fountain, sculptures and seating. The single building within the courtyard was the former mill owners office. This was built in Victorian Egyptian Pavilion style and will soon be extended with a contemporary glass structure to contain the Bistro. Diners will have views over the piazza courtyard and the central water feature with the main floodlit facade in the background. All building facades are ornamental stone, and floodlit.
