Current status: Answered by Angus Robertson on 8 November 2024
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its planned review of Creative Scotland, and wider funding streams for the arts and culture sector.
The Scottish Government announced in the Programme for Government that we would undertake a review of Creative Scotland as part of a wider review of how the sector is supported. My officials are currently undertaking preparatory work and I will provide a further update in due course. In the meantime, I would refer you to the update I provided to the Scottish Parliament’s Constitution, Europe, External Affairs and Culture Committee on 18 September: https://www.parliament.scot/-/media/files/committees/constitution-europe-external-affairs-and-culture-committee/correspondence/2024/letter--cab-sec-to-ceeac--creative-scotland--cs-open-fund-18-sep-2024.pdf.
