Inception returns to Dalkeith Palace showcasing a carefully curated collection of artists. The exhibition doors will open to the public on Friday 3 May.

An exciting, sales-led contemporary art exhibition beautifully curated in the historic setting of Dalkeith Palace. Launched in 2021, this year 35 modern and contemporary artists, sculptors, photographers and painters are invited to ‘take over’ The Palace.

Over 10 days art lovers will have access to the artists and their work with an inspiring additional programme of artist-led workshops, Palace tours, an online charity auction and an exciting ‘family day’ ~ Beyond Inception ~ featuring family friendly workshops and demonstrations.

As Inception is an art sales exhibition, you will have the opportunity to purchase the artwork during the show.
