Audience Development |
We are currently finalising plans for another fund aimed at maximising the use of digital technology, building on what has been a priority for us in previous years. This fund will also focus on more holistic organisational development, and specifically, organisational change. Further information can be found in our guidelines for organisations.
Funding for capacity-building in marketing and/or audience development will still be available through the Organisational and Audience Development fund which, in 2009/10, has been extended to enable larger grants and support for different kinds of activity. Please refer to the details for that fund below.

pARTners: Scotland's Artist Residency Programme
|
Earlier this year, the Scottish Arts Council published details of a large scale evaluation of pARTners, our artist residency programme which was funded by the National Lottery, and ran from 2004 to 2007.
Following this evaluation, we have further developed the programme and will shortly relaunch the scheme.
See the summary report if you would like information on the evaluation.
See the pARTners section of our website if you would like information on projects previously funded through the scheme. |
