Edinburgh Art Fair
The annual Edinburgh Art Fair, celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, returns to Edinburgh Corn Exchange this September!
About Edinburgh Art Fair
Established in 2005, Edinburgh Art Fair celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025. Situated in one of the worlds most beautiful cities and a capital of culture, EAF is an international art fair with a reputation for showing high-quality artworks from all four corners of the globe. Galleries from throughout the UK, Europe, and further afield descend upon Edinburgh Corn Exchange every year to showcase the works of their artists, sculptors, designers, makers, and creators to a diverse, knowledgeable, and appreciative audience.
At EAF you will find established, household-name artists rubbing shoulders and sharing exhibiting space with recent graduates, mid-career, and self-taught artists alike. As many of our exhibitors travel long distances to exhibit with us, the majority of artists cannot be found on your local high street meaning the only opportunity for you to view and buy their work is at the fair which makes EAF week a highlight on the calendars of all art enthusiasts. Our ethos at EAF is to show that art is for everyone and not just an elite few. For anyone who has felt intimidated by visiting a gallery then EAF is for you. We welcome thousands of like-minded individuals who come along to browse, meet, chat, relax over coffee or lunch, and of course, buy from the vast selection of original paintings, prints, sculpture, photography, ceramics, glass, bespoke furniture, and design wares on show. And with prices ranging from £100 - £100,000, for unique items which have been imagined and created with time, passion, talent, and love, we are sure to have something for everyone, no matter personal tastes or budgets.
We welcome children to EAF and have an art workshop where young (and older) visitors can draw, paint and get creative in a safe environment, while there is also a licensed bar, coffee bar, and food stand and, we have a chill-out space to relax and unwind away from the general noise and crowds.
With EAF there is always something new to catch your eye, get you talking, and tempt you, and with all the work on show we are sure to have something for everyone!
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
