Click here to view this email in your browser Hello *|FNAME|*, We are nearly at the end of the festival season and the mammoth programme of festivities that is the Edinburgh Fringe has recently drawn to a close. In the coming months we can all hopefully draw on the inspiration of the shows, performances, gigs and festivals we have experienced as audience members, artists, producers and/or crew this summer. Attending events and festivals across the UK and Ireland and most recently in Edinburgh, I was struck yet again at the importance of the Edinburgh Festivals. The Scottish economic, social and cultural impact of these festivals is immense. An impact study from last year by BOP Consulting found that the city's 11 annual festivals attracted audiences of more than 700,000 in 2022, totalling 3.2 million attendances (with almost half from people who live in Scotland). The BOP report highlighted the major economic impact of Scotland's international festivals, which contributed £407m to Edinburgh's economy last year, and a further £367m across the country, supporting thousands of jobs and businesses. It is encouraging to witness this sustainable recovery for creative workers and those involved in festivals and outdoor arts in Scotland.  Articulation Arts is developing as an organisation and lots of work is underway - including a rebrand, a redesigned website and development of Articulation Arts as a membership organisation that will support artists more effectively. There are undoubtedly challenges ahead, but as we move forward inspired by an excellent festival season, Articulation Arts’ vision of sustainable outdoor arts, circus and physical theatre sectors in Scotland is renewed.
