Edinburgh to host biennial arts summit | Herald Scotland | Culture Scotland | Scoop.it

EDINBURGH will become the centre of the world's artistic political elite every two years, in a regular series of summits for arts ministers.

 

Jonathan Mills, the artistic director of the Edinburgh International Festival, which unveils its ambitious 2012 programme today, has revealed plans for the Scottish capital to host biennial August meetings of more than 40 government arts ministers.

 

The group will not only meet and discuss policy and partnerships, but take in the cultural offerings of the annual festival, Fringe, and book festival.

 

The first International Culture Summit will take place on August 13 and 14, during the Edinburgh Festival and just after the close of the 2012 London Olympics.
