Over the past fourteen years they have grown to become the UK’s largest annual festival of visual art, presenting work by more than 250 artists at over 40 venues during August 2017.

Commissions Programme

Each year Edinburgh Art Festival supports Scottish and international artists to make new and ambitious projects which engage with the extraordinary context of Edinburgh in August. Presented principally in public spaces, our commissions allow access to overlooked or neglected parts of our city’s heritage.
