Firstly apologies for multiple postings but it is important so please forward to other artists.
A new Scottish international fund is being established jointly by SAC and British Council. Norah campbell is the new Head of International Arts. The SCOTTISH ARTISTS UNION understands that the nature of the funding has not yet been decided. It could be just `closed` funding for large organised projects. The SCOTTISH ARTISTS UNION has strongly proposed that there should be open application funds for artists projects, an area which has been consistently neglected by SAC. WE have arranged a meeting with Norah on 3rd November to discuss this further. It would be helpful if individual artists who feel strongly on this issue could write or e-mail Norah supporting this stance and identifying the specific areas that you feel need support. Her e-mail & address are below. SU GRIERSON President ScottishãArtistsãUnion IF YOU DONT SPEAK YOU CANNOT BE HEARD.
