A "haunting and satirical" Ayr High Street art installation is set to draw to a close soon.
A former butcher's shop on the High Street was transformed into a piece of immersive art by internationally renowned Scottish artist Rachel Maclean this September, which saw toy dolls piled upside-down in the window display with posters advertising ‘nothing must go’ and ‘don’t buy mi’, in a witty, haunting and satirical exploration of consumerism, politics and identity.
Dubbed 'Don't buy Mi', audiences are still being invited over the next two weeks to December 24 to visit the event presented by JUPITER+, Jupiter Artland’s nation-wide art and creative learning programme that commissions artists to transform public space.

JUPITER+ has taken a second unoccupied retail unit in Ayr Town Centre, converting it into a green screen film studio and flexible creative learning and event space.
Over 2023 and 2024, the Ayr-based Youth Council and Jupiter+ team will work with school groups from Ayrshire and beyond at these studios, producing a series of film-works exploring the change young people want to see in their communities.
'Don't buy Mi is currently on display at 53 High Street, Ayr.
