DOK Gone Fishing
We were incredibly sad to hear that DOK Artists Space is being displaced and will no longer function in its current form in the Steel Shed at Ocean Terminal. Olivia Turner and our very own #CAPalumni Karen Fleming have worked incredibly hard to make DOK a significant and essential space on Edinburgh’s cultural map with a variety of exhibitions and events over the years.
