Summerhall Arts

Summerhall Arts was established to create a stable vehicle for the arts, protecting the fragile artistic community, safeguarding a creative professional development programme & maintaining a safe and inclusive space to showcase new writing and early career practitioners in Edinburgh and Scotland.

We identify, create, support, and deliver a wide and diverse range of opportunities for emerging and established local and national creative practitioners within an established safe space.

The size, breadth and diversity of the planned programme is comprehensive and designed to support and galvanise a fragile sector through cross sector collaboration to be stronger by working together.

Summerhall Arts is a Lifeboat and with it – we provide space, opportunity and mentorship to those who have creative ideas but no means or facilities to begin that creative process. Space is so limited to experiment and play within the city that it is often reserved for established creatives – we provide a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space and environment for the process to take shape.
