Creative Scotland’s 119 Regularly Funded Organisations (RFOs) directly employ 5,000 workers, support 25,500 individual artists and provide millions of opportunities for people across Scotland to engage with the arts and culture.
84% of Scots agree that there should be public funding of arts and cultural activities in Scotland.
The culture budget is currently only 0.5% of Scottish Government spending.

Please ask your MSPs to stop cuts to Creative Scotland in the Scottish Budget.
MSPs pay less attention to template letters, so we don’t supply them. It’s best to express your thoughts and feelings in your own words. Your message doesn’t have to be long.
Be sure to include your address so that MSPs know you’re a constituent.
Because this is regarding a vote in the Scottish Parliament, you can write to all of your MSPs.
The SNP said in their 2021 manifesto((SNP Manifesto)):
Every signature makes a difference. Please sign our petition, then share it far and wide to keep the momentum going.
Speak up for the difference arts and culture makes – for you, your community and Scotland. Every story helps to makes our case stronger.
