Campaigners are calling on the Scottish government to fulfil arts funding promises to address a financial “crisis” in the sector.

The Campaign for the Arts says Scotland could face a “cultural catastrophe”, including museum and gallery closures, without more arts funding and security.

It comes after Creative Scotland closed a major grant because of “lack of clarity” over millions of pounds of government support.

Jack Gamble, the campaign’s director, said hundreds of artists and organisations were waiting on funding decisions as a result of “inaction and backtracking from the Scottish government”.
