​The grants range from £1.14 million and £1.27m in the first and second year respectively for the Traverse Theatre, to £55,250 and £56,925 for Reeltime Music. Robert Wilson, chair of Creative Scotland, said: “The development stream organisations join the largest portfolio of cultural organisations ever to be supported on a multi-year basis, bringing even more stability to Scotland’s culture sector. [...] A total of 13 more cultural organisations, including the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland, Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre and the Hidden Door festival have been granted multi-year funding from Creative Scotland. When multi-year funding awards were announced in January, a total of 251 organisations out of 279 which had applied for long term funding were granted their request, in a package worth at least £208m over the next three years.

It’s testament to the productive and close work of the organisations and Creative Scotland that all 13 are now progressing to multi-year funding.” Advertisement Advertisement The Traverse Theatre is one of the organisations to be granted multi-year funding. placeholder image
