PLATFORM: Early Career Artist Residencies 2026/2027
Edinburgh Art Festival
PLATFORM is a programme of two paid 18-month residencies for early career artists based in Scotland, working in any medium, supporting them to develop work in a flexible way. Artists will work with EAF for an equivalent of ~3 days per month for 18 months, presenting work as part of EAF27 (August 2027). As well as a £10,000 artist fee and additional production/access/support budget, PLATFORM includes external mentorship, support from the EAF team, and a month-long in-person residency at the Hugo Burge Foundation in the Borders. One residency space is reserved for a BPOC artist, reflecting the underrepresentation of BPOC artists in solo exhibitions and shows in Scotland, as well as the ways race often intersects with class and gender marginalisation in the arts. Find out more and apply at the EAF website.
