Funding

Scottish Arts Council

The Scottish Arts Council is a development agency working at a national and local level. It provides funding as well as advice and information on all aspects of the arts in Scotland.

What is the funding for?
The Scottish Arts Council provides funding for all aspects of the arts, ranging from dance and music to crafts and literature. There are a number of different schemes which all aim to celebrate artists and artistic excellence, improve the quality of life through the arts and provide leadership in the arts for Scotland. They fund nearly 100 arts organisations for annual programmes of work and also make project funds available to both individuals and arts organisations.

A new funding guide, Guide to Funds, has been produced to cover 2007/08 and sees the introduction of new priorities:
• increase the scope and quality of our support to artists
• secure the foundation of Scotland’s artistic development
• create flexibility to support the new and the innovative
• create opportunities for participation in the arts
• build a culture of co-operation with partners and the arts community
• this will also include our internal priority of making the transition to Creative Scotland.

How much money is available?
Amounts vary depending on which scheme is applied for.

Who can apply?
Individual artists or arts organisations.

When to apply
2nd July, 1st October 2007 and the 14th January 2008, (for projects taking place after 1 April 2008, subject to confirmation of available funds).
