Creative Scotland (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Creative Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Alba Chruthachail [ˈal̪ˠapə ˈxɾuhəxal]; Scots: Creative Scotlan) is the development body for the arts and creative industries in Scotland. Based in Edinburgh, it is an executive non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government. The organisation was created by the passing of the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Act 2010 and inherited the functions of Scottish Screen and the Scottish Arts Council on 1 July 2010. An interim company, Creative Scotland 2009, was set up to assist the transition from the existing organisations. Creative Scotland has the general functions of: * identifying, supporting and developing quality and excellence in the arts and culture from those engaged in artistic and other creative endeavours, * promoting understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the arts and culture, * encouraging as many people as possible to access and participate in the arts and culture, * realising, as far as reasonably practicable to do so, the value and benefits (in particular, the national and international value and benefits) of the arts and culture, * encouraging and supporting artistic and other creative endeavours which contribute to an understanding of Scotland's national culture in its broad sense as a way of life, * promoting and supporting industries and other commercial activity the primary focus of which is the application of creative skills. Since its inception, Creative Scotland has been involved in some controversies, and been challenged by key figures in the arts and film industries in the country. In 2012, 400 artists, writers, playwrights and musicians' protesting of Creative Scotland's management led to the resignation of Creative Scotland's then-chief Andrew Dixon. In March 2011, Creative Scotland was debated in the Scottish Parliament after suspicious expenditure, such as the funding of £58,000 to finance a dance programme based on the works of Alfred Hitchcock and a trip to Tonga to study Polynesian dancing, was uncovered. In January 2015, the organization was lambasted by filmmakers for offering less than half of the money required to a blockbuster film The Rezort wishing to shoot in Scotland, which resulted in the production moving to Wales. Janet Archer resigned as chief executive of Creative Scotland in June 2018, after joining the organisation in July 2013. She was replaced by deputy chief executive Iain Munro, who assumed the role of chief executive. Notable critics of Creative Scotland in the Scottish arts world include Liz Lochhead, Don Paterson, Ian Rankin, Andrea Gibb, David Greig, John Byrne, Alasdair Gray and James Kelman. (en)
Creative Scotland (gaelico scozzese: Alba Chruthachail, al̪ˠapə xɾuhəxal) è l'ente di sviluppo delle arti e industrie creative (cinema & teatro) della Scozia. Basato a Edimburgo, è un organo pubblico esecutivo del Governo scozzese. L'ente ha assorbito le funzioni dello "Scottish Screen" e dello Scottish Arts Council in data 1º luglio 2010 e ha l'ulteriore mandato di appoggiare e promuovere l'applicazione di abilità creative nelle industrie artistiche, umanistiche e cinematografiche. Sin dalla nascita, l'ente Creative Scotland è stato coinvolto in alcune controversie con importanti personaggi delle arti e del cinema nazionali. Nel 2012, 400 artisti, scrittori, drammaturghi e musicisti hanno protestato contro la gestione dell'ente, provocando le dimissioni del direttore esecutivo di allora, Andrew Dixon. Nel marzo 2011, Creative Scotland è stato al centro di un dibattito al Parlamento scozzese a causa di spese sospette, come il finanziamento di GB£58.000 ad un programma di danza basato sulle opere di Alfred Hitchcock ed un viaggio a Tonga per studiare le danze polinesiane. Nel gennaio 2015, l'ente è stato biasimato da alcuni registi per avere offerto meno della metà del denaro necessario ad un film di grande importanza che doveva essere girato in Scozia, al che la produzione si trasferì nel Galles.
