Celebrating Success: All seven applications for Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funding successful

Over the next three years, a total of £3.8million will be allocated across Tramway, Celtic Connections, Glasgow International Festival of Contemporary Art, Aye Write, Merchant City Festival, the Glasgow Mela, and our Creative Communities programme.

This welcome funding will play a key role in progressing a thriving, successful and sustainable cultural ecosystem in Glasgow at the heart of the city's ambitious Culture Strategy to 2030.

Our Chief Executive, Susan Deighan, said: "The announcement of Multi-Year Funding for Tramway, Celtic Connections, Glasgow International, Aye Write, Merchant City Festival, the Glasgow Mela, and our Creative Communities programme is really encouraging, and we are grateful to Creative Scotland for supporting all seven projects.

"Our cultural venues, festivals, events and programmes play a vital role in Glasgow and Scotland's cultural life and make a major contribution to our visitor economy and international reputation, bringing a wealth of social and economic benefits to the people of Glasgow and beyond.

"With this support in place, our teams can now take forward their plans for this funding, which we will share in the coming weeks and months."
