Arts & Business Scotland are in the midst of re-evaluating and revising the services that they provide to support a vibrant and sustainable cultural sector.
They are investigating how they can work more effectively and efficiently across the whole of Scotland through regional programmes that support a cultural place making agenda and are developing services that will help regional communities thrive and attract skilled workforces. They want to develop a range of training and support services that make the most of regional needs and resources and they invite you to help them do this.
They would like to invite you to a workshop, followed by a consultation roadshow, at Eden Court Theatre, Inverness, on Friday 28th March 2014. Full details are below. Please register for each event separately so they can cater accordingly.
