This year, as Edinburgh celebrates its 70th anniversary as a festival city, the 14th edition of the Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF) and its partners present more than 45 exhibitions across more than 35 venues. These include ambitious presentations of Scottish and international contemporary art and important survey shows of individual artists, staged at the capital’s leading galleries and museums as well as at site-specific artist-run spaces. The festival also presents eight new projects by Scottish and international artists at six sites in and around Edinburgh’s Old Town, and ‘The Making of the Future: Now’ pays homage to the physical and intellectual legacies of the town planner Patrick Geddes and the festival in the city. Find out more about the Edinburgh Art Festival from their website.
