Until next year…

The Edinburgh Art Festival 2011 has now drawn to a close. The month was an exciting and innovative time, both for everyone involved in making it happen and for those who came along to enjoy the diverse array of exhibitions and events. The Festival provided a welcome counterpoint to the frenetic atmosphere of the Fringe, allowing participants to engage and explore Edinburgh far beyond the concentrated arena of the city centre. The Solar Pavilion  proved to be a multi purpose space thoroughout the month; morphing  from a work of art in itself to a  BBC film set to a shelter from the relentless rain to a salon filled with lively debate during the lunchtime talks. Many people have lamented it’s impermanence in St Andrews Square, but such is the nature of festivals, magical and fleeting they must be enjoyed while they last and remembered once they’ve gone. Until the next year.
In the meantime spend some time here and find out more about the 2011 programme…
