Asian Art Fund Scotland is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) supporting and championing Asian artists and art forms in Scotland. Our main job is to manage the Asian Art Awards every year at the Edinburgh Fringe (which takes place over around three and a half weeks every August) but we have plans for cultural exchanges in future.
