We want artists, creative practitioners and cultural organisations to have opportunities to deepen their practice through international dialogue, exchange and collaboration - broadening knowledge, insight and innovation.
We want Scotland’s culture and creative sector, and local economies to experience the benefits of high-quality international creative connections. We want Scotland’s creative businesses to maximise the potential of international markets, and for high-quality work created in Scotland to be widely showcased and enjoyed.
We want to promote Scotland as an important global centre for culture and creativity which is diverse, has strong traditional roots and an appetite for experimentation and innovation.
How do we define International?
We see opportunities to share, learn and connect with others as being key aspects to international work.
We recognise that this requires specific and often innovative ways of working, and sometimes opportunities to maintain and develop access to international markets and audiences. All of these approaches contribute to and are influenced by Scotland’s place in the world.
Our approach to international work also interacts with our other key priorities: EDI, Fair Work and Environmental Sustainability (as outlined in other documents).
