Access and Enjoyment

Access and enjoyment is one of five ambitions we reported on in our 2018/19 Annual Review.

We are committed to increasing the quantity and quality of opportunities for people of all ages to experience and learn from the arts, screen and creative industries, wherever they are in Scotland. The second of our 10-year Ambitions is that everyone can access and enjoy artistic and creative experiences.
