The Origin
Why Edinburgh?
The city of Edinburgh hosts hundreds of cultural events and festivals each year, and this industry has brought together a huge network of freelancers, artists and creators, who form part of this creative community: photographers, designers, graphic artists, filmmakers, theatre companies, musicians, painters, editors, journalists, sculptors, and more.

The big idea
Edinburgh
Creative
Nest
Edinburgh Creative Nest is a shared workspace, which understands the creative activity of artists and cultural agents of all disciplines from two perspectives: artistic and economic value.
What makes us so different?
Advice
and formation
Reasonable
rates
Distribution
platform
Members of our workspace will find a balance between two fields (art and business), which will provide them with training and tools to best prepare themselves for opportunities in the industry and for a competitive market. In addition, we offer reasonable rates to our professionals.
With all this, ENC will be a distribution platform which will publicise artists and project in our co-working space to the city of Edinburgh.
The Nest
What else can the Nest offer you?
Co-working
space
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so that you can create your perfect schedule.
Mini office
or Desk
If you’re flying solo, or part of a team, we have the space to best fit you.
Crèche
We know how difficult it is to balance work and family… So we can help you out with a childminding service.
Meeting
Room
Meeting up is important: with your colleagues, with a client who wants to get to know your work, with a supplier… and why not, whilst you show off your latest mind-map?
Photography
Studio
A dazzling space: lights, camera, action! All the facilities in a professional working space, with the best accessories and equipment.
Workshop
You provide the inspiration, and we provide the tools. If your business is based in manufacturing and crafts, we provide you with an area built specially for it.
Gallery
We love to go to museums, but not as much as having the art hanging up on our own walls. This is why we offer a showroom to publicise your work.
Rest area
It’s not all about work, so we provide a space to relax, meditate and find the peace you need for your next good idea.
Kitchen
If you’re going to work long hours in the Nest, it’s best to have a place to snack.
