Our Creative Voice

Creative Scotland has launched a new initiative promoting the value that art and creativity contribute to all our lives.

Our Creative Voice is a new platform demonstrating the tangible benefits of participating in art and creativity.

The site presents a range of case studies, supported by compelling data and research. Our Creative Voice also provides the tools for others to help make the case for culture.

Iain Munro, Chief Executive Creative Scotland said: “The evidence is overwhelming – art and creativity make a positive difference to society in Scotland, making a vital contribution to our economy, our communities, our education, our health and wellbeing, and our environment.

We want to tell that story as widely as possible to inform, influence and inspire people from all parts of society about the value of culture, support it and, ultimately, participate in any way they can.”

Jennifer Hunter, Executive Leader of Culture Counts said: “I've been supportive of an initiative like this for a long time, so it’s great to see Our Creative Voice come to life.

The campaign will be a powerful central voice in our collective work to raise awareness of the value of cultural participation and it's also a great resource of stories and evidence for us all to tap into, complementing the work we all do in our specific art forms. I will actively support its growth and development.”

Spread the word and get involved by downloading the Our Creative Voice toolkit. The toolkit contains all the info and assets you need to be a part of the campaign to build awareness of the value of art and creativity.
