Culture Sparks : Comment

  • Deaf Theatre Club revisited

    Last year, we worked with Solar Bear to explore opportunities and current practice around deaf theatre in Scotland. We're now working with them to discover what changes in practice have resulted from the introduction of their Deaf Theatre Club. 

  • Culturing our Creativity: 17 June

    What conditions are needed for individuals and organisations working in arts, culture and the creative industries in Scotland to flourish on our finite planet? How can we ensure their presence? What more could they contribute to our common wealth if we did? Speakers from the UK and US join AmbITion Scotland to debate these issues and more at the Edinburgh Assembly Rooms: in-person and webcast tickets are free. 

  • £91k Make:IT:Happen Funding Awarded

    On 1 May 2013, 15 arts, culture and heritage organisations received a combined £91,000 in funding from AmbITion Scotland's Make:IT:Happen fund. This was the third round of funding awards from the Make:IT:Happen fund this year; a further two rounds of funding remain open for applications.
