NEW: @CreativeScots⁩ will fund more cultural organisations on a multi-year basis than ever before.​ 🙌

It’s thanks to a significant uplift in Scottish Government funding, for which thousands of our supporters campaigned.

We’ll have more analysis soon. https://t.co/ZPXySFWAhh

[Katherine Mendelsohn🕷🐟@katherinemend.bsky.social @Katheri48033429]

For those working in the arts outside Scotland...today all organisations applying for multi-year funding (Creative Scotland's equivalent to ACE's National Portfolio Investment Programme) from April 2025, will - very belatedly - find out their application results.

Be kind.
