Creative Scotland is the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries across all parts of Scotland on behalf of everyone who lives, works or visits here. We do this through funding, development, advocacy and influence and we distribute funding from the Scottish Government and the National Lottery. We want Scotland to be a country where excellence and experimentation across the arts, screen and creative industries is recognised and valued; everyone can access and enjoy artistic and creative experiences; places and quality of life are transformed through imagination, ambition and an understanding of the potential of creativity; ideas are brought to life by a diverse, skilled and connected leadership and workforce; Scotland is a distinctive creative nation connected to the world.

Craft Scotland is the leading charity working to unite, inspire and champion craft in Scotland. We are Scotland’s national agency for craft; creating opportunities for makers to exhibit, sell and promote their work, and for the public to see, purchase and learn about craft. Through our varied campaigns, exhibitions, events and website we work to unite the Scottish craft community and connect them with local and international audiences. We are a registered charity SC039491. Find out more about us at http://www.craftscotland.org
