Creative Scotland Bill launched Print E-mail
Thursday, 13 March 2008

The Government today launched its plan to revitalise Scotland’s creative arts sector by amalgamating the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen into a body called Creative Scotland.

Culture Minister Linda Fabiani said the Creative Scotland Bill guarantees the independence and artistic freedom of Scottish artists and that Creative Scotland would play a vital role in supporting Scottish creative talent and promoting the country abroad.

Fabiani said:

“The establishment of Creative Scotland will cultivate and support the best of Scottish arts and culture and maximise the potential of Scotland's creative sector. The Bill outlines that Creative Scotland and artists themselves will have the freedom and power to determine their own creative direction – a firm sign from this Government that we will not interfere in artistic decisions. Creative Scotland will have a vital role in promoting artistic excellence. It will help our artists, practitioners and creative businesses to rise to new levels of aspiration, ambition and achievement and it will be a ready source of advice and advocacy and a partner to support that aim.

“Scotland's national identity is rooted in passion for innovation and new ideas.  I look forward to Creative Scotland giving fresh impetus to this national flair for originality, and the future cultural life of our country. I am confident it will encourage new ways of thinking and new ways of working and will support the talent that is so prevalent here in Scotland. Scotland's culture also plays its part in developing international relationships – I believe there is a role for cultural diplomacy in persuading people to live, learn, visit, work, do business and invest in Scotland.  Creative Scotland will take this forward, working with our world-class artists and creative leaders, and those responsible for promoting Scotland abroad.”
