Bidh ùine gu leòr aig an fheadhainn a bhios an làthair airson deasbad, cnuasachadh agus lìonradh a dhèanamh taobh a-staigh a’ mhòr-ionad meadhanach seo agus ceanglaichean a chruthachadh a chumas orra a’ togail coimhearsnachd nan ealan Gàidhlig.
’S i a' chiad neach-labhairt Rona Dhòmhnallach a' bruidhinn air a h-obair mar riochdaire ealain Ghàidhlig do Ghlaschu Beò agus a h-obrach mar neach-ealain leatha fhèin.

Tha a cùrsa-beatha air a toirt air feadh an t-saoghail ach tha i an-còmhnaidh stèidhichte gu daingeann ann an cultar a coimhearsnachd dachaigh ann an Linicro. Tha an obair aice sònraichte ann a bhith a’ toirt a-steach dualchas, cultar tàbhachdach agus na h-ealain thraidiseanta ann an dòighean ùra agus an-còmhnaidh inntinneach.
Tha a’ Ghàidhlig na pàirt bhunaiteach de dh’eachdraidh is cruthachalachd na h-Alba. Tha i a’ toirt buaidh air agus a’ cumadh ar litreachas, ar ceòl, ar n-ealainean, ar film agus TBh, ar fèisean, agus a’ toirt buaidh air gach taobh de ar gnìomhachd chruthachail choitcheann an dà chuid a thaobh dualchas na Gàidhlig, ach cuideachd a thaobh a spionnadh agus a comas san àm ri teachd.

Tha an tachartas seo a tha air a stiùireadh leis a’ Ghàidhlig a’ nochdadh dealas Alba Chruthachail a thaobh taic a thoirt don Ghàidhlig, air a mhìneachadh sa Plana Gàidhlig.

Creative Scotland is hosting a brand-new celebration of Gaelic arts, Buain, on Tuesday 12 September at Inverness WASPS Creative Academy from 9.30am to 4.30pm.
The gathering of Gaelic arts presents a celebratory space for Gaelic artists, practitioners and development workers to discuss their work happening on the ground and spotlight the sector as a whole.
Gaelic-speaking artists, development workers, officers and staff or freelancers from non-arts organisations that support Gaelic arts are invited to hear from three speakers across various disciplines who will give an exclusive insight into their impact. Attendees will have ample time to discuss, reflect and network within this central hub and forge connections that will continue to uplift the Gaelic arts community.
The first speaker is Rona Dhòmhnallach discussing her work as a Gaelic arts producer for Glasgow Life and her practice as an artist in her own right. She spearheads the Gaelic arts incubator GUIR!, an invaluable pillar of the Gaelic arts scene which helps develop emerging artists of all art forms living or working in Glasgow.
Lana Pheutan will also be speaking on her background as a multi-faceted freelancer with experience as a writer, singer, presenter, broadcaster, actress and youth theatre development for Theatre Gu Leòr. Originally from Skye, her incredible skillset takes her all across the country with her wide-reaching work.
The third speaker is Anne Martin, a singer, musician and tutor. Her career has taken her across the world but is always firmly rooted in the culture of her home community in Linicro. Her work is distinctive in encompassing heritage, material culture and traditional arts in new and always-interesting ways.
Gaelic language is an intrinsic part of Scotland’s culture and creativity. It influences and shapes our literature, our music, our art, our film and TV, our festivals, and all aspects of our collective creative activity both in terms of Gaelic’s heritage, but also in terms of its energy and future potential.
From festivals such as Blas, HebCelt and Celtic Connections; organisations such as Fèisean nan Gàidheal and Fèis Rois; performances of Theatre Gu Leòr; film from MG ALBA and FilmG and the commitment of the National Gaelic Language Plan. Buain is creating space for further expansion, progression and discussion.
Gaelic Arts Officer at Creative Scotland, Anna MacQuarrie, said: “Buain is the first sector-wide event in Gaelic arts in a number of years, and Creative Scotland are pleased to be able to facilitate this.
“It will be a fascinating day, providing an exciting opportunity for conversation and sharing knowledge. We look forward to meeting and talking to everyone, and hearing from our fantastic speakers and their individual experiences.”
This Gaelic-led event reflects Creative Scotland’s commitment to supporting Gaelic, detailed in the Gaelic Language Plan. Creative Scotland work to support artists and art organisations who work in, with or about Gaelic language and culture, anywhere in Scotland across all art forms.
Creative Scotland funding support for artistic and creative projects which have significant Gaelic elements for 2021/22 totalled £7.5m across 102 awards (up 52 since 2020/21).
