Edinburgh’s festivals are set to receive the majority of a Scottish Government fund set up to help the arts sector bounce back from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Capital’s leading international events will benefit from almost half of a £2 million pot designed to “improve resilience” among artists across the board following a challenging two years under coronavirus restrictions.
Bosses say the money, made available by the Festival Expo Fund, will help them “invest in and showcase” the talents of creators in the city.
