Reflections from the EPAD network - where have we been and where are we going?

Today we publish notes from our networking meeting in December 2022, capturing how our network of Edinburgh’s arts workers are feeling now and what they value, fear and desire going forward.

Still impacted by Covid, exhausted and fearful but resilient, our network value the power of live performance, collaboration and community. They seek open-ness and shared thinking and they fear empty seats at theatres, lack of equity and barriers to inclusivity; They desire greater value to be given to what already exists in the city and more access for independents to the city’s spaces. They are fearful of a rush to the future without due care for our wellbeing.
