The Edinburgh Art Festival piloted for the first time last year, represents over thirty galleries and runs concurrently with Edinburgh’s other major festivals in August. The New Projects fund has been created to support the work of existing galleries and artist-led organizations as well as to assist with the commission of new projects The Edinburgh Annuale, the Annuale highlights Edinburgh's artist-run projects during the festival month of August with the aim of championing art in Edinburgh as it emerges from the grass roots. The Annuale will produce a catalogue which will act as a guide to artist-run exhibitions and events in the capital. The Edinburgh Art Festival has also been able to assist Inverleith House with the running of a visitors’ bus to Ian Hamilton Finlay’s garden Little Sparta, to tie in with the exhibitions running at Inverleith House, The Ingleby Gallery and The Scottish Poetry library which celebrate the artist’s 80th birthday. The Edinburgh Art Festival is supported by the Scottish Arts Council, The British Council and Edinburgh City Council.
