The Greater Grassmarket Business Improvement District (BID) teamed up with Capital Collections to create an open-air walking art exhibition in the Greater Grassmarket area from 4th - 30th September 2017. Fifteen pieces of artwork which span a century of Grassmarket history will be displayed throughout 22 locations in the area. The artwork dates from 1850-1950 and combines rare old photos of the Grassmarket and Old Town from the collections of Edinburgh's Libraries with a twist of psychedelic colour and vibrancy. Highlights include the hokeypokey man, a homage to the Italian ice cream sellers who lived and worked in the Grassmarket in the 1900s, and a ventriloquist performing in the Grassmarket's public space.
