Taking place alongside Edinburgh’s wider festival season, the event transforms galleries, museums and public spaces across the capital into a city‑wide celebration of contemporary visual culture. Established in 2004, the festival brings together leading Scottish, UK and international artists, alongside emerging talent, creating a diverse and thought‑provoking programme that reflects both local and global perspectives.
Events are hosted in iconic venues across Edinburgh, from major national galleries to independent artist‑run spaces, with many exhibitions free to attend. The festival encourages visitors to explore the city through art, discovering unexpected locations and new creative voices along the way. For art lovers, culture seekers and festival‑goers, Edinburgh Art Festival is a must‑visit highlight of the city’s summer calendar.
