Go See Share is a small fund for individuals, organisations and creative businesses to explore and share new ways to expand their business activity and make them more financially sustainable.
The aim of this support is to help recipients undertake trips or remote meetings, allowing them to gain knowledge and insight, build relationships at events or other types of visits, and to share this knowledge back in Scotland.
Eligibility
Individual artists, creative practitioners, representatives of arts organisations and creative businesses who work in the creative industries. This includes those working in visual and performing arts, crafts, textiles, fashion, photography, music, writing and publishing, design, film, TV, video, radio and computer games.
All applicants must be proposing ideas which are aimed at expanding their business activity and increasing financial sustainability.
All applicants must be based in Scotland and have a UK bank account in their name.
We cannot accept applications from National Companies, Creative Scotland Regularly Funded Organisations, and full-time students.
For more information on eligibility, and what you can apply to do, please see our Guidance for Applicants.
