Roost is part of an artists residency, Arcadeum, linked to the North West Edinburgh Partnership Centre. This £12 million Centre, being built in Muirhouse, is a joint development between NHS Lothian and the City of Edinburgh Council, bringing increased health and social care services for the local community, including new GP accommodation and additional physiotherapy, podiatry, dentistry and child health services.
Arcadeum is based in the ‘satellite’ space in the shopping mall next to NEA. Artists Lindsay Perth and Hans Clausen have been leading the Arcadeum programme over the last 12 months.
