The Scottish Parliament’s Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Affairs Committee is seeking written submissions on the future of funding for the arts in Scotland. The Committee’s inquiry will consider wider issues relating to the future of funding for arts organisations and, in particular, artists and cultural freelancers in Scotland. The Committee is looking for views on two overarching issues, 'What would a sustainable model of funding look like?' and 'How should that funding be made available to artists?' Visit the Scottish Parliament website to submit your response.
