The Gallery is located within the Patriothall Studios building in the Stockbridge area of the city, and has over its 17 year history provided exhibiting opportunities for hundreds of emerging and mid-career visual artists.
Patriothall Gallery is on the ground floor of the former Co-op bakery building which Workshop and Artists Studio Provision Scotland (WASPS) converted into a studio complex in 1988.

From the outset the Gallery was created, directed and managed by the studio artists for artists working in any media - locally, UK wide and internationally.
In 2004 the artists in the building won a campaign to save the building from developers. In the main due to a grant from the City of Edinburgh Council the future of the building is now secure and a committee of volunteer artists is working on developing the gallery exhibition programme and space.

It is a measure of the growth in the Gallery’s activities that it holds over 20 shows each year and is open to the public for 303 days a year.
