Edinburgh Art Festival

The platform for the visual arts at the heart of Edinburgh’s August festivals

Edinburgh Art Festival is from the 28th of July to the 28th of August

Each year, the Edinburgh Art Festival features leading international and UK artists alongside the best emerging talent, major survey exhibitions of historic figures, and a special programme of newly commissioned artworks that respond to public and historic sites in the city. The vast majority of exhibitions and events are free to attend. Find out more about visiting the festival here.

Alongside the main festival programme, they run an annual series of learning and engagement activities around our Commissions Programme and partner exhibitions as well as bespoke tours, workshops and projects for community groups and organisations inspired by the work of our participating artists.
