Today sees the launch of a recruitment process to appoint up to four new Board members. Appointed by the Scottish Government, the Board is responsible for steering the strategic direction of Creative Scotland, overseeing its effective governance, financial accountability and its delivery of value as a public body.
Robert Wilson, Chair of Creative Scotland, said: "Being a Board member at Creative Scotland is a high profile position in Scottish public life and one where there is an opportunity to make a significant and positive difference to Scotland’s creative life, society and economy.
“As such, I encourage applications from individuals who feel they have both the knowledge, experience and the dynamism to help shape Creative Scotland’s work and to contribute to a successful future for the arts, screen and creative industries in Scotland.”
Here's more from Robert about the opportunity:
The closing date for applications is Friday 15 March at midday. Successful candidates will take up their position later this year, for a four-year period.
More information about the Board vacancies, and details of how to apply, can be found here: www.appointed-for-scotland.org.

The posts are non-remunerated but expenses are paid (e.g. for travel to Board meetings).
Creative Scotland is the public body that supports the arts, screen and creative industries across all parts of Scotland on behalf of everyone who lives, works or visits here. We enable people and organisations to work in and experience the arts, screen and creative industries in Scotland by helping others to develop great ideas and bring them to life. We distribute funding provided by the Scottish Government and the National Lottery.
