Scottish Arts Council - Inspire Fund

More - increasing the number and range of people enjoying and taking part in the arts, particularly arts activity for and by children and young people.

Wider - making the arts available to those who have had little opportunity to participate in the past; ensuring a fair geographic spread of activities; and supporting projects across artforms and technologies.

Better - increasing further the quality of arts activities by supporting creative, ambitious projects.

Inspire is a unique opportunity for a wide range of organisations, including arts organisations, voluntary and community groups, to apply for Lottery funding.

Priority will be given to applications which demonstrate that they extend the reach and nature of engagement with the arts, ensure quality artistic engagement and create potential for new, creative cross sectoral partnerships.
