Ma tha cànan agus/no cultar na Gàidhlig cudromach dhut san obair chruthachail agad, nì sinn fiughair ri cluinntinn bhuaibh!

Tha Engage Scotland agus Culture Heritage and Arts Assembly, Argyll and Isles (CHARTS) toilichte a bhith ag obair ann an com-pàirteachas gus fianais a thogail bho luchd-ealain lèirsinneach Ghàidhlig ann an com-pàirteachas ag obair ann an Alba. Thathar an dùil gun cuir am fiosrachadh a thogar cruth air leasachadh ann an ealainean-lèirsinneach na Gàidhlig, le bhith a’ toirt dealbh de shaothair luchd-ealain, agus a’ cuideachadh ri cothroman air saothair ùr le bhith a’ cruthachadh cheanglaichean eadar ionadan, luchd-maoineachaidh agus luchd-ealain. Chaidh an com-pàirteachas eadar CHARTS agus Engage Scotland a chur air chomas leis an taic bhon Chrannchur Nàiseanta tro Alba Chruthachail.

Tha sinn a’ cur fàilte air beachdan bho neach-ealain lèirsinneach sam bith a tha an sàs ann an luchd-èisteachd agus/no com-pàirteachas no ag iarraidh a bhith an sàs ris agus a tha a’ cleachdadh Gàidhlig no bho luchd-ealain aig a bheil rùn an cuid obrach a leasachadh a rèir na Gàidhlig, m. e. ann an co-bhonn ri fileantaich. 

Is e adhbhar a’ phròiseict seo stòr-dàta air feadh Alba de luchd-ealain ag obair anns an raon seo a nochdas farsaingeachd is leud na h-obrach a thathar a’ gabhail os làimh ris an roinn air fad.

If Gaelic language and/or culture is important to your creative process, we want to hear from you!

Engage Scotland and Culture Heritage and Arts Assembly, Argyll and Isles (CHARTS) are pleased to be working in partnership to gather information from visual artists working in a participatory Gaelic language and/or culture context in Scotland. Information collated aims to help inform future development in Gaelic visual arts, including by profiling artists' work, and assisting prospects for new work opportunities by building relationships between venues, funders and artists. The partnership between CHARTS and Engage Scotland has been made possible with the support from the National Lottery through Creative Scotland.

We welcome submissions from any visual artist who either already engages or wishes to engage audiences and/or participation using Gaelic language or from visual artists who are committed in any way to developing their work in a Gaelic context, e.g. in collaboration with fluent Gaelic speakers. 

The purpose of this project is to create a Scotland wide database of artist working in this context that demonstrate the breadth and diversity of work being undertaken to the whole sector.
