Today, Patriothall is home to over fifty artists and features a gallery space which supports an annual programme of exhibitions.

Wasps purchased and refurbished the building in 2004, securing the future of the studios for Edinburgh-based artists. The gallery space is managed by Wasps for the benefit of its creative community and wider audience.
