EPAD Review - small group sessions, 14 and 16 May 2026 at Festival Theatre

Edinburgh Performing Arts Development has been providing support, connectivity and workspace for those involved in the performing arts in the city for 10 years. We have received funding from Creative Scotland to take stock of our work, to hear from our constituency and stakeholders about their experiences with EPAD and to look towards the future. 

This is an invitation to become involved in that process by attending and contributing to a small group discussion.  These sessions will take place at 2pm and 7pm on Thursday 14 May and at 10am on Saturday 16 May, all at Festival Theatre. 

These sessions are intended for the people who have been involved in our regular programme of co-working days, support surgeries, training events, and networking opportunities. The sessions will be facilitated by Jim Tough. The essence of the sessions will involve hearing from you about your experiences of EPAD and how you think we can possibly develop or refine what we offer in support of your work. The session will last for two hours with a maximum group size of six participants. Refreshments will be provided. 

If you are a freelance arts practitioner, a £50 attendance fee is available.  We can also pay a carers' allowance to all those who may require it.
