Funding Programmes

Creative Scotland funding is open to individuals, groups or organisations to apply for, supporting a wide range of activity in the arts, screen and creative industries. View the programmes below for more information about what each will support and how to apply.

Open Funding

Open Funding is one of our key funding routes, supporting the wide range of activity initiated by organisations, artists, writers, producers and other creative practitioners in Scotland.

Regular Funding

Regular funding seeks to ensure Scotland has a breadth and range of arts and creative organisations and sustainable environments through which artists and creative people can deepen and deliver their work, their engagement with the public, and their professional networks.

Multi-Year Funding

Multi-Year Funding will replace several routes to year-on-year funding that we currently offer to organisations, including our Regular Funding, and elements of our Open Funding and Targeted Funding.

Targeted Funding

A selection of ring-fenced funds which support specific art forms, specialisms or geographic areas.

Funding Delivered by Partners

As part of our Targeted Funding, these are a selection of funds and development initiatives which are delivered on behalf of Creative Scotland by other organisations.
