Join our Patron Circle

EAF is the UK’s largest annual festival of visual art. 

Our Patron Circle is a vibrant and diverse community, where individuals play an integral role in EAF’s continued development and success.

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.

Benefits include:

As an EAF Patron, you will have the opportunity to engage directly with our artists, experience our year-round programme and engage with special events during EAF25 in August.

  • Invitations to Patron and Partner events in Edinburgh and London year round.
  • Invitations to the EAF VIP Launch, previews and special events.
  • Exclusive invitation to our new EAF25 Patron Programme (22—24 August) which includes unique visits and special invites to tailor-made events.
