EDINBURGHFESTIVAL
THE ARTISTIC POLICY OF THE FESTIVAL
This is the festival’s policy which I got from their
website:• Presenting arts of the highest possible international standard to the widest
possible audience
• Reflecting international culture to audiences from Scotland, the rest of the UK
and the world
• Offering an international showcase for Scottish culture
• Presenting events which cannot easily be achieved by any other UK arts
organisation through innovative programming and a commitment to new
work
• Actively ensuring equal opportunities for all sections of the Scottish and wider
public to experience and enjoy the Festival
• Encouraging public participation in the arts throughout the year by
collaborating with other arts and festival organisations
• Ensuring the Festival has adequate core funding to fulfil its mission and address
its sustainability.
