Independent Arts Projects (IAP) has been successful in its application to Creative Scotland for Multi-Year Funding for 2025-28. This is the first time that the organisation has joined the portfolio of year-on-year funded organisations, after 8 years of operating on project funding or, extended programme funding and covid-19 emergency funds.
Executive Producer Mhari Robinson said, “We are delighted that IAP’s work has been recognised with this key support from Creative Scotland. We look forward to working with Creative Scotland and our network of artists and arts workers over the next three years to make joyful creative experiences with people across Scotland who face multiple barriers to accessing mainstream arts activities. The security of multi-year investment will enable IAP to build upon our work and offer more paid opportunities to artists in Scotland.
“This key funding from Creative Scotland is the result of the hard work, skill and creativity of the artists, and producers we have collaborated with over the last seven years and is made possible through a generous settlement from Scottish Government, and we are grateful for this opportunity to transform and grow our organisation.”
“We are aware that at this moment there are positive and negative outcomes being received and processed by many of our friends and colleagues across Scotland. We are so pleased for the teams who have been awarded well-deserved investment and disappointed for many of our peers who have not received the outcome that they had hoped for.”
Based in Leith and founded in 2017, Independent Arts Projects (IAP) has produced 13 new theatrical works in 8 years of trading and established itself as a specialist in facilitating socially engaged arts projects with access and care at their core.
