It’s day 4 and I’m already trying to catch up with day 3! Fortunately, it’s amazing how much quieter Edinburgh is after the weekend. The queues have dispersed, the litter is slowly being cleared and most of the shows we wanted to see are having a day off!
Ah yes, but that doesn’t mean a lazy start to the day as we had the first of two frantic networking sessions to deal with yesterday:
- The first was staged by Visiting Arts and after a presentation by EIF director Jonathan Mills on the subject of the arts and climate change and the arts consisted of a panel of artists from five continents giving their individual responses to the challenge
- Later in the day was the Made in Scotland reception at the lovely Balmoral Hotel. Made in Scotland is a fantastic showcase of new work produced in Scotland and is a brave attempt to put Scottish Arts firmly on the International stage. Backing the initiative is the newly formed Creative Scotland – a merger of the Scottish Arts and Film Councils – a possible model of what might have been possible in England maybe?
