Enjoy a different kind of visual art experience. These performances and interventions have been commissioned by the Edinburgh Art Festival and are funded through the Scottish Government’s Edinburgh Festivals Expo Fund.
Due to the performance and site specific nature of these projects they will continue to evolve until, and in some cases, while the projects take place. Where possible contact details for the event producers are supplied. The EAF information desk at Collective (venue 7) and phone line will also be able to provide further information, and we will update this page as events unfold.
