The Scottish Artists Union has submitted a formal written response to the
parliamentary
committee for Education, Lifelong Learning & Culture as they conduct
consultation on the
Creative Scotland Bill. Our submission identifies three main areas of concern at
this early
stage in the legislation's development:
-the huge number of "creative industries" the new body will be supporting, far
more than the
combined remit of the Scottish Arts Council and Scottish Screen
- Creative Scotland will have to do this work with less money than those two
organisations
- finally, there are as yet no guarantees of dedicated visual arts
representation at the board
level nor a discrete visual arts budget
