Creative Scotland

Investment opportunities for arts projects are offered in a number of ways, depending on the type of investment you are looking for.

Some applications operate on what we call a ‘fast track’ basis. This means that there are no fixed deadlines and you can apply at any time, as long as your application is received at least four weeks before your project will begin. Decisions take four weeks.

Fast Track funds that are currently available to apply for are:

 
Unlimited is a new UK-wide disability arts commissioning fund being run as part of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad.

Applications are through Arts Council England’s ‘Grants for the arts’ system and further information about the fund can be found on the Arts Council England website. There are two remaining application deadlines for Unlimited: 1 October 2010 and 18 April 2011

If you have any queries about the unlimited fund, please email us at equalities2@creativescotland.com

All other investment can be applied for at specific deadlines and decisions take ten weeks.  We anticipate that our next deadline date will be in October 2010.  Here is an indication of the opportunities that will be available then, although note that other investment opportunities are in development and may be available.

Further information about all these investments currently on offer and application forms, including whether it is Fast Track or has a fixed deadline date, can be found here.  Please note that this link will take you to the archived Scottish Arts Council website (although the information is up-to-date) while we complete the transfer of all the investment information to the Creative Scotland website.
