Welcome to your September newsletter

We're rounding off the month with #ScotClimateWeek and it's been delightful to see some of this month's Open Fund recipients creating environmentally conscious work thanks to National Lottery support.

Could you be our new Climate Emergency and Sustainability Lead, playing a key role in our work on climate change? Applications are open until 24 October! Plus we've been sharing just some of the exciting work created by artists in Scotland that help us all get talking about our climate.

It's also been a great month for celebrating Scotland's indigenous languages, with both the Gaelic Literature Awards and the Scots Language Awards handing out trophies to the writers, performers and organisations creating innovative work in Scots and Scottish Gaelic.

Plus, we've got all the top news and latest funding opportunities from across Scotland!
