RBGE Creative Programmes

EAF26: Hidden histories. Transformed venues. Radical artistic voices.

The programme for the UK’s largest annual festival of visual art is now live to explore! Returning to Edinburgh from 14—30 August, the festival is a dedicated platform for visual art during Edinburgh’s festival season. Spread across the entire city, EAF brings together 45 galleries, museums and community spaces with a programme of specially commissioned work and inspiring events.

We are delighted to partner with Edinburgh Art Festival again this year and share the news that the full festival programme is now live to book: see the whole programme, explore all of the Partner Galleries, and book tickets, now at edinburghartfestival.com.

Want to delve deeper into the world of earth, soil and James Hutton? Join us for one of our June Spotlight talks.

These are short talks where a Creative Programmes volunteer shines a light on their favourite aspect of the exhibition Earth Matters.
