Independent Arts Projects (IAP) has been developing performance and participatory projects with, by and for a diverse range of artists, participants and audiences since 2018. We connect artists and communities and make space for people to see themselves and be themselves.
IAP works with artists to help develop their ideas. We believe creativity is essential for all of us to dream, to do, to thrive and to be. We believe in fair work, fair terms and fair pay. We believe in artists having longer term employment opportunities that allow job security alongside the time and space to develop as artists and artistic leaders.
IAP supports artists to be artists: to develop creative work, grow meaningful relationships, artworks and experiences with communities of place, practice and identity. We often work with artists with lived experience to create projects in the communities they belong to.
IAP aims to support the next generation of artistic leaders, and aim to meaningfully change the demographics of the people leading and shaping arts practice in Scotland.
Our projects have been nominated for awards, included in case studies, shared as examples of good practice, and received critical acclaim from national media.
