The new facility will function as the park’s primary entrance and will facilitate the extension of its educational programmes and free school visits throughout the year.

The architects Organic Architects have designed the buildings to will harmonise with the locale’s simple agricultural edifices, which are a feature in the surrounding landscape, reflecting the greenery of the park. Internally, it will accommodate a café restaurant, shop and a gallery space with integrated craft distillery and tasting space, providing visitors with a unique and immersive experience.

Nicky Wilson, director of Jupiter Artland, said: “This is the next exciting step in the continuing of Jupiter Artland Foundation’s work to reach every child in Scotland and create a sustainable future for Jupiter in Scotland.”

Gareth Roberts, founder and director at Organic Architects, added: “The new gallery will provide a haven for hosting world-class art and artists, with the buildings’ exteriors harmoniously echoing the park’s green surroundings.

“Its interior spaces will provide more room for captivating art, with new pieces from world-famous artists, designed for areas within the building from early in the process.

“Projects like this are most important to us, we thrive on building a sustainable future for organisations like Jupiter Artland, allowing it to broaden its mission to engage with every schoolchild in Scotland.”

Construction is expected to start later in 2023, with an anticipated completion date in 2025. The unique developments, including the micro distillery, will allow Jupiter Artland to be open year round for the first time, and reinforce its status as a destination for creativity and innovation.
