Excellence and Experimentation

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

We support individuals and organisations across Scotland to develop and produce high quality work, both through funding and by helping them to create time and space to develop their practice. The first of our 10-year Ambitions is that excellence and experimentation across the arts, screen and creative industries are recognised and valued.
