HOST is a new artist residency co-presented by Outer Spaces and EAF25, designed to platform and connect artists with Edinburgh’s creative communities beyond the Festival moment.

HOST gives selected early-career artists a place in the heart of Edinburgh for six months, offering an opportunity to create space for experimentation, connection, and visibility. The residencies will form part of the creative community and artist support which Outer Spaces fosters year round.

HOST brings together members of the Outer Spaces artist cohort with artists from this year’s Festival programme: Hamish Halley, EAF’s first Early-Career Artist-in-Residence; long-time EAF Civic collaborators Jj Fadaka and Ria Andrews; and artists Miriam Foy, Frances Burnett-Stuart, and Olivia Priya Foster, selected from the Outer Spaces national network.

Visitors are invited to explore the HOST artists’ practices through open studios every Saturday during the Festival.
