It is our commitment to the people of Scotland that we will identify, nurture and champion creative talent for the benefit of Scotland. Our Corporate Plan, Investing in Scotland's Creative Future (2011) sets out how we will do this by placing the arts, creative practice and creative practitioners at the heart of our thinking.

Our 5 objectives are to invest in: 

• Talent;
• Quality Artistic Production;
• Access, Audience Development and Participation;
• the Cultural Economy;
• and Places and their contribution to a creative Scotland. 

We also have 3 cross cutting themes of: International, Equalities and Education. For more context on our objectives and cross cutting themes please refer to our Corporate Plan.

There are two main ways to access investment, either through one of the Investment Programmes or via our Ideas Bank. Guidelines for each programme set out clearly how you can present your ideas and potentially access investment and we have also created a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that you should read before completing your application.
