Arts Council England, in partnership with Festivals Edinburgh, is hosting a Talent Development Symposium to explore how to identify artistic talent and create the ideal environment for the creation of great art. This is an industry gathering taking place over the mornings of August 18th and 19th in Edinburgh with 100 invited artists, producers and funders.
