Beacon Arts Centre
Twenty venues across Scotland have received a total of £7.5m from the first strand of the Scottish Government’s £12.5m Performing Arts Venues Relief Fund.
Designed to support performing arts venues that cannot yet re-open due to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, the fund is helping to:
- Remove the threat of insolvency prior to the end of March 2021 to enable the development and delivery of activity as soon as practicable;
- Allow for specialist/core staff to return from furlough or avoid redundancy to work on future sustainable activity plans;
- Increase commissioning and employment opportunities for freelance artists and creative practitioners (between now and end of March 2021) to support continued public engagement while closed.
