Please note: we will not normally fund productions which only appear at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival or Edinburgh International Festival. Scottish tours which include these festivals are eligible but most of the performances must happen outside of the festivals. There may be rare exceptions to this such as the Made in Scotland Fringe Expo Fund, which is a Scottish Government initiative, managed by the Scottish Arts Council.
Our music touring programme Tune Up was established by the Scottish Arts Council in 2003 and provides funding to top musicians and artists to perform across Scotland.
Please note: the deadline for proposals for tours in Scotland between September 2009 and August 2010 has now passed.
