Overview

JUPITER+ brings Internationally renowned Scottish artist Rachel Maclean’s world-class artwork and Jupiter Artland’s creative learning programmes to young people in Ayr this Autumn!

After debuting upside mimi ᴉɯᴉɯ uʍop at Jupiter Artland in 2021, Rachel Maclean brings her uniquely dark vision to Ayr’s high street, occupying a formerly vacant shop with a FREE to visit, immersive installation Don’t Buy Mi.

Taking the form of a surreal toy shop where nothing is for sale, this immersive artwork transports audiences into Maclean’s dark imagination and features her animated film upside mimi ᴉɯᴉɯ uʍop.

Working in partnership with South Ayrshire Council, and with support from Creative Scotland and Barcapel Foundation, Jupiter has recruited 16-to-18-year-olds from across Ayrshire to form the JUPITER+ORBIT Youth Council. These remarkable young people want to use their creativity to make a difference and are working with school groups in Ayrshire on an artwork showing the change they want to see in their community.

JUPITER+AYR has been made possible through a creative partnership between Jupiter Artland, South Ayrshire Council, Ayr Gaiety Theatre, University of West of Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University, SCAN and Engage with the support from The National Lottery through Creative Scotland and the Barcapel Foundation and our network of schools and colleges across the region.

JUPITER+ aims to tackle the diminishing uptake in creative subjects at school-leaver and higher education levels, with our most ambitious Free Learning Programme to date inspiring the next generation of artists in Scotland. Jupiter’s Learning Team are offering Free Learning visits from September to December. Read more about the offer and book your visit by clicking the button below.
