| Now in its 17th year, Made in Scotland presents a curated programme of the very best of theatre, music and dance by artists from across Scotland at the world’s greatest performing arts festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Each year Made in Scotland invites a delegation of international presenters to visit Edinburgh in August to watch showcase performances, meet with artists and participate in conversations and social events. With artists and companies selected by an international panel of independent experts, Made in Scotland aims to nurture and encourage creative dialogue and the development of international connections and collaborations for artists based in Scotland. |
