Cross-party groups at the Scottish Parliament

Culture Counts established a Scottish Parliament Cross-party group (CPG) for 2021-26. CPGs are groups of MSPs and non-MSPs who are interested in a subject or issue.

CPG Culture & Communities

The purpose of the Culture & Communities Group is to encourage the exchange of knowledge and understanding between the Scottish Parliament and arts, culture, heritage, and historic environment communities.

This group ran throughout the parliamentary period 2021 - 2026. All cross-party groups are dissolved at the point of the election (in this case, in May 2026). We will be looking to re-form the group following the election.

Meanwhile, you can review the work of the group’s investigation into ‘Big ambitions for culture and communities’ via this report.

Sign up to the CPG mailing list via the button below to be kept up to date as and when a new CPG is formed following the May 2026 election.
