Cultural guide for artists and creatives in Edinburgh

Across Edinburgh there are cultural hubs, city venues, libraries and community centres hosting a variety of offerings. From arts and crafts sessions to theatre shows and stadium concerts are publicised widely.

Working with arts and cultural programmes

Whilst it might be easy to find out what’s on, it will take time for you to learn how to access and work with the creative teams delivering arts and cultural programmes. Some organisations will welcome creative proposals from independent artists and others will only consider working with established partner organisations.

Connecting with other locally based artists and creatives may prove invaluable as you start navigating your career in the city. Whether it’s curated or open access festivals, independent or commercial venues, their insights may support you with engaging with opportunities across the city.
