The Forest is constantly seeking to exhibit new and exciting works and welcomes submission for exhibitions, performances, workshops, events and also any curatorial ideas.
Any proposals we recieve are considered at the working group meeting which is held on the last thursday of every month at 7pm. In order to make this process as simple as possible we have come up with some submission guidelines.
If you would like to exhibit please post:
Your name
Telephone number/email
Description of what you do- We would like to hear what your work is about, its themes etc. One concise paragraph should be enough
Photos/examples of your work- Please attach at least 6 good quality images of previous work. If possible, please send images of the work you wish to exhibit. If you must provide links to work online please link to each image individually, not just to the site they are on. Please do not provide links to sites that require a log-on to enter.
Some ideas about how you'd like to lay it out- If you plan to create an installation in the space or have any special display requirements please describe your intentions in full, if possible provide supporting sketches. If you plan to exhibit with other artists, please send us images of their work also.
Whether you would like to exhibit in the cafe itself or in the gallery- There is also -plenty of other spaces for people to display their work, be it as a wall mural, a poster or others.
It is not necessary to submit your CV.

Total Kunst is the Forest gallery. The Forest is a volunteer-run, self-funded, independent, not-for-profit arts space located in the centre of Edinburgh.
It is available to all people and is funded by its vegetarian cafe.
Total Kunst Gallery is a not for profit gallery that aims to support artists by providing an exhibition space with no commission charged. Our central location, big windows and attachment to the cafe ensures high visibility for the work. We welcome longer exhibitions, one day performances, projects and workshops.
The Gallery is run by a working group which anyone can attend as long as they're ready to help. We meet on the last Thursday of the month in the gallery at 7pm.
Through encouraging discussions with the artists, closing parties instead of opening parties, and communication between artist and viewer, we aim to encourage a dialogue around the exhibitions that will hopefully aid the understanding of the viewer and contribute to the progression of the work.
What exhibitions are good at the moment?
All of ours.
The centre of the artworld is
nowhere and everywhere
