Momentum 2026

Information Session for Scotland-based artists and arts organisations

Thursday 11 June, 10:00-11:30

Zoom

Join British Council, Creative Scotland and Festivals Edinburgh to learn more about Momentum 2026 and the international delegates who will be visiting this August.

Momentum 2026 delegates will include artists, programmers, curators, funders, festival directors, policymakers, venue managers and cultural entrepreneurs.  For 2026 we will welcome performing arts-focussed delegations from China, Türkiye, the Nordics, the Middle East and North Africa region, Sub-Saharan Africa and the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) region, as well as multi-national, artform-specific delegations for Literature and Visual Arts. 

Attending the session will help you find out more about this year’s delegates, identify ways to participate in the programme, and understand what connections and collaborations could result.
