Engage Scotland is thrilled to announce that we have been awarded Multi-Year Funding from Creative Scotland, ensuring three years of continued support for our members and the wider sector. This funding marks a significant step forward in our mission to strengthen the cultural sector, and we are excited to bring this stability to the organisations we work with across Scotland.
Engage Scotland has always been committed to supporting our diverse and vibrant membership, and this new funding will allow us to expand and deepen our services, helping to ensure that our members have the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to thrive. Over the next three years, we will continue to advocate for the sector, provide expert advice, and support a range of initiatives that foster growth, innovation, and collaboration.
Professor Anita Taylor, Engage’s Chair, said: 'Engage is delighted to have been awarded Multi-Year Funding from Creative Scotland for our work with the visual arts sector in Scotland. The funding provides stability for Engage Scotland to support the
visual arts workforce to build resilience and ensure high quality provision for audiences and participants to engage in, with and through the visual arts across Scotland.'
Jane Sillis, Director of Engage, said: ‘We are grateful to receive Multi-Year Funding from Creative Scotland to continue Engage Scotland’s work with the visual arts workforce which benefits audiences and participants across Scotland.’ We would also like to extend our congratulations to the other organisations across Scotland who have been awarded funding.
We recognise the profound impact that three years of stability can have on any organisation, and we are proud to be part of a sector that is being supported to continue to grow and deliver vital cultural services.
This funding enables us to focus on our commitment to engage with and support the cultural organisations of Scotland. By providing the stability needed to plan and deliver long-term initiatives, we aim to empower our members to make a lasting
impact in their communities and beyond.
Engage Scotland looks forward to working closely with our members and stakeholders as we embark on this exciting new chapter, and we are grateful for the trust and support that has been shown in our work.
