Edinburgh Art Festival
The Edinburgh Art Festival, the UK's largest festival of visual arts, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and returns to the capital from August 9th to 25th.
About Edinburgh Art Festival
For our 2024 programme, we invites audiences to join us in a moment to collectively pause and reflect upon the conditions under which we live, work, gather and resist.
We will use the opportunity of our 20th Birthday to connect with historic and contemporary ways of organising that have built infrastructures of care and pioneering activist movements over the past 20 years (and beyond).
Join us as we bring household names from across the world together with those living and working in Scotland, with exhibitions ranging from rare photographs to large scale sculpture and installation; to EAF’s curated weekend performance programme in unusual spaces across the city; and PLATFORM, where four Scotland-based artists will respond directly to the themes of the 2024 programme, centering intimacy, material memory, protest and persecution.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
