And those who would prefer to remain anonymous.
Patrons bring our creative vision and mission to life, supporting the voices of artists and future generations of artists, who inspire change, foster solidarity, and bring people together in meaningful ways.
For 2025, your donation supports the work of over 200 artists from Scotland, the UK, Europe and Latin America who will be showcased in the EAF25 programme. Patrons empower us to provide free and equal access to many of our events, workshops, our artistic and civic programmes year-round, allowing us to continue to foster a thriving arts scene in Edinburgh and beyond.
If you would like to become a patron or have any questions, please contact Megan Leckie: [email protected]

Every donation we receive enables EAF to continue our work of providing a platform for visual art in August and beyond, forging lasting connections with artists and communities, both locally and globally.
