Edinburgh Performing Arts Development (EPAD), is a support programme for professional independent performing arts companies and artists based in Edinburgh. We support Edinburgh’s professional performing arts sector to develop, share resources and build better connections through three areas of focus:
Our aim is to help the performing arts sector in Edinburgh be better connected, more self-sufficient and stronger.
