Post-election: What next for culture in Scotland?

  • Culture Counts (online) (map)

As the dust settles from the 2026 Scottish election, join us to process what comes next, and what the election results might mean for the arts, heritage and creative industries.

We’ll be inviting a series of panellists to give us their view - from a range of perspectives across the cultural and political sector, and there’ll be plenty of time for discussion, questions and sharing ideas. Our framing themes for the event are:

  • Understanding the election results - what might we expect from this government?

  • Navigating the new Parliament - key dates and next steps

  • Engaging with newly elected representatives - opportunities and challenges

  • Manifesto commitments, sector priorities, and next steps

This event is held online via Zoom, and is free (but ticketed) and open to all. Sign up will be available shortly via Eventbrite, and watch this space for more details and confirmed speaker list coming soon.
