Edinburgh College of Art has a dynamic programme of art and design events and exhibitions held throughout the year across the Lauriston Place campus. These events and exhibitions showcase and support the work of our students, our staff and our notable alumni. The exhibitions programme also includes the work of visiting artists of local, national and international standing.

In addition to the events and exhibitions on campus, our staff and students exhibit widely outide the College at arts venues across the UK and overseas. These activities are also promoted through our online events and exhibitions pages.
