For more information on the Young scot Action Fund visit http://www.youngscot.org/actionfund/ Young Scot Arts Action FundA key element of our partnership with the Scottish Arts Council is the Young Scot Arts Action Fund, a pot of money available to young people who are wishing to unleash their artistic ideas and need a cash injection to fulfil their creative potential. The Arts Action Fund can grant individuals up to £200 and up to £750 for groups aged 11 to 26. Since it was launched in 2005, over £66,960.30 has been given away to young people. Funding has been granted to a variety of projects from all over Scotland and the feedback we receive shows the positive impact the Arts Action Fund is having on people in Scotland. In 2009, Moira Watson from Dundee, was granted £200 to cover framing and display costs at the first showcase of her sketches at Dundee’s famous venue, The Doghouse. Moira says: “The night was a great success, and it wouldn’t have been possible without help from the Young Scot Arts Action Fund. I’m so proud that the night went so well, and I’m planning keeping the money I made from the event to use towards putting on more exhibitions in the future.”
