Scottish Fringe showcase funding Print E-mail
Thursday, 14 August 2008

A dedicated ‘Made In Scotland’ showcase for Scottish performing arts will feature at next year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The Scottish Government will provide £200,000 for the showcase from its Expo Fund. The project, a partnership between the Fringe, Federation of Scottish Theatre and the Scottish Arts Council, will give Scottish dance and theatre performers access to international promoters and audiences via the Fringe.

Culture Minister Linda Fabiani said:

“The Made in Scotland showcase will be a fantastic shop window for Scottish-based performing artists. During the festivals we attract culture lovers from around the world and the Expo Fund is a great opportunity to show what fantastic performers we have right here in Scotland. Made in Scotland will allow talented artists who may not have otherwise been able to perform to bring their most ambitious work to the Fringe.

“I am therefore delighted to make this eighth Expo Fund announcement which will allow Scottish-based talent to prosper at the Fringe and raise the profile of our celebrated artists and arts organisations internationally.'”

Jon Morgan, Director of Edinburgh Festival Fringe said:

“The Fringe can open up a whole host of opportunities and for Scottish artists it's on their very doorstep. Made in Scotland will provide financial and developmental support so Scottish dance and theatre artists can present their work in the best possible way at the Fringe and open up other touring opportunities. We are very grateful to the Scottish Government for their generous support of this innovative new programme through the Expo Fund.”
