Art Late is a series of specially programmed late openings and events, taking in live music, performances, artist talks and tours. This year offers even more opportunities to enjoy our programme by night, as we introduce Art Late Central – a chance to take in our festival-led programme in the heart of the city.
Art Late Central begins with a performance from Craig Coulthard in the surroundings of Trinity Apse, where his festival commission The Drummer and the Drone is installed. From there, two tours will leave to take in some of this year's festival projects, including Amar Kanwar's work at the Old Royal High School, Jacqueline Donachie's Mary and Elizabeth in Princes Street Gardens and our exhibition Where do I end and you begin at City Art Centre. Both tours will make their way to City Art Centre for the end of the evening, where there will be a performance from Chris Devotion and the Expectations.
Programmed in association with The List.
