About

EAF (Edinburgh Art Festival) was founded in 2004 to provide a dedicated platform for the visual arts at the heart of Edinburgh’s summer festivals.

EAF cultivates connections between communities, artists and collaborators to develop contemporary visual art projects. Every August, we present the UK’s largest visual art festival that is rooted in Edinburgh and Scotland, with global dialogue. Our year-round Civic Engagement Programme allows us to work in different ways; offering sustained engagement.

EAF amplifies intersectional voices and perspectives. Our work is rooted within social justice, championing the voices and work of intersectional, emerging, and early career artists to develop art projects that address colonial histories, queerness, feminism and the climate crisis.
