Funding news – We are thrilled

BOP was thrilled yesterday to receive news that we are part of Creative Scotland’s Multi Year Funding portfolio. The much needed uplift in our funding means we can support more disabled artists to produce exciting work, to develop their practices and careers and we can continue to support organisations in Scotland and elsewhere to address disability equality in the arts and be more accessible. 

Like most other companies we didn’t get everything we applied for – we’re looking forward to working with other funded organisations over the next three years to deliver as much of our planned activity as we can. We know yesterday’s news will not have been good for everyone. 

A sincere thanks to all of our audiences, supporters and partners – more details are coming Soon…watch this space!
