Open Letter Regarding Closure of Open Fund for Individuals

On August 19th, Creative Scotland announced the closure of the Open Fund for Individuals to new applications from 30 August due to the Scottish Government's inability to confirm the release of £6.6m in the Grant-in-Aid budget in the current financial year, 2024-25.

In response, the CHARTS Steering Group and Board shared a letter representing the members of our community in Argyll with the Culture Secretary, Angus Roberston and Creative Scotland's Board and CEO.
