Applications open today for Made in Scotland 2019 - the annual curated showcase of music, theatre and dance taking place as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Made in Scotland celebrates the wealth and diversity of work being produced in Scotland, and through being presented at the world’s largest arts festival provides a range of artists and companies working in this country with invaluable international profile.
209 shows have been supported at the Fringe thanks to the programme since it first took place in 2009 from the likes of Scottish Ensemble, Indepen-dance, Starcatchers/Curious Seed, 21 Common and Birds of Paradise / National Theatre of Scotland.
Dance, theatre, and music artists & companies based in Scotland can apply to the Music and Theatre & Dance programmes up to 5pm on Thursday 22 November 2018. To find out more and apply, visit creativescotland.com/madeinscotland.
