C ARTIUM – a focus for international independent arts

Welcome to C ARTIUM, working to support, develop and promote inspiring independent artistic activity at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and around the world.

C artium exists to advance, enable, facilitate and further the arts. Our aims and our purpose are cultural and educational. We seek to showcase the best artistic and creative work. At the heart of what we aim to achieve is to create an environment where creativity can flourish, where people can learn from each other and develop their skills and mutual understanding, where diversity is celebrated, where participants and audiences are enriched culturally, and where participation is accessible and inclusive for all.

The nature of our project dictates that our income is not guaranteed. We operate without major sponsorship or funding. We take a financial cost on projects with artistic merit. Any surplus from our operation is invested into supporting our cultural and educational aims.

C artium is the umbrella organisation for all C ARTS projects, including C venues and C theatre, our CtheArts and CtheFestival and CtheFilm seasons, and our C events programme.
