opportunities to Perth and
across Scotland

JUPITER+ is Jupiter Artland’s bold new programme which seeks to support young people across the
country through world-class commissions and learning programmes nationwide

creative learning programme aimed at 15 - 25 year old

JUPITER+ aims to tackle the diminishing uptake in creative subjects at school-leaver and higher
education levels, with their most ambitious free learning programme to date inspiring the next generation
of artists in Scotland
l
From 28 October 2022 - 29 January 2023, Rachel Maclean will bring her uniquely dark vision to Perth’s
historic high street with an immersive installation that takes the form of a seemingly abandoned toyshop
by a takeover of a high street shop on Perth’s historic high
street by artist Rachel Maclean, with a haunting and
satirical exploration of consumerism, politics and identity.
This autumn, Jupiter Artland is proud to announce the
launch of JUPITER+, a new off-site commissioning
platform which will see some of the world’s most exciting
contemporary artists bring art into the heart of communities across Scotland through temporary takeovers of
public spaces, and providing learning opportunities to encourage the next generation of artists. As the cost of living
soars, this project seeks to create opportunities for accessible arts education and free training to young people
across the country. The programme will be inaugurated
Known for her meticulously crafted fantasy worlds,
Maclean’s work is a timely response to the crisis facing
many high streets across the country. Taking the form of
a seemingly abandoned toyshop, this is Rachel Maclean’s
first work to take over a real high street shop and builds
upon Maclean’s cartoon princess mimi, a fairy-tale
character that has appeared in her work since 2021.
