We are very grateful for the support we get from the wonderful William Grant Foundation, not only in the form of regular funding from their Scottish Culture and Heritage Group but also the opportunity to join discussion forums to share and exchange ideas with other grantees, and to be profiled in blogs and articles outlining their aims & objectives and rationale behind the support they give.
This recent blog by Rowan Boase, Partnerships and Learning Manager, highlights Drake Music Scotland amongst that of other organisations such as our good friends at the Cumnock Tryst https://www.thecumnocktryst.com/ and Tinderbox Collective https://tinderboxcollective.org/ showing ‘exciting creative work emerging in places you might not expect and from people who have previously been marginalised in cultural life. This challenges narrow ideas of where high-quality art can come from, and who gets to be seen as an artist in the first place.
