about the program
Experiencing different types of theatre is one of the most useful ways for artists to develop their craft and enrich their creativity. We now offer a fund for Gaelic-speaking theatre-professionals to attend productions and events that will support their development.
what support is available?
We can pay for the following costs:
Tickets
Travel (over £5.00)*, including additional travel or accommodation costs required for Highlands and Islands based artists
Access costs, including for those with caring responsibilities
You can request support for performances or events related to theatre, that take place in Scotland, and for up to three events in one application.
