The Traditional Arts and Culture Fund is supported by the National Lottery through Creative Scotland and delivered by TRACS (Traditional Arts and Culture Scotland), the national network for traditional arts in Scotland. TRACS works to promote, develop, and sustain traditional music, song, storytelling, dance and crafts across the country, supporting artists, communities, and organisations at all levels.
Applications to the Traditional Arts and Culture Fund are welcome from both organisations and individuals. The fund is designed to support traditional artists and organisations to create, perform, tour, and showcase work, as well as to develop professional skills and learning opportunities. The fund offers small grants of up to £1,200. The fund does not support the purchase of equipment, nor can it be used to match other Creative Scotland funding. See below for eligibility requirements and application guidelines.

Tha Maoin Ealain is Cultair Traidiseanta a’ faighinn taic bhon Chrannchur Nàiseanta tro Alba Chruthachail agus tha i air a lìbhrigeadh le TRACS (Ealain is Cultar Traidiseanta na h-Alba), an lìonra nàiseanta airson ealain thraidiseanta ann an Alba. Bidh TRACS ag obair gus ceòl, òrain, sgeulachdan, dannsa agus ciùird thraidiseanta a bhrosnachadh, a leasachadh agus a chumail suas air feadh na dùthcha, a’ toirt taic do luchd-ealain, coimhearsnachdan agus buidhnean aig gach ìre.
Tha fàilte air tagraidhean bho bhuidhnean agus bho dhaoine fa leth dhan Mhaoin Ealain is Cultair. Tha a’ mhaoin air a dealbhadh gus taic a thoirt do luchd-ealain agus buidhnean traidiseanta airson cruthachadh, cluich, cuairtean agus gus obair a thaisbeanadh, a bharrachd air sgilean proifeasanta agus cothroman ionnsachaidh a thoirt air adhart. Tha a’ mhaoin a’ tabhann thabhartasan beaga suas ri £1,200. Cha ghabh a’ mhaoin a chleachdadh gus uidheamachd a cheannach, agus chan urrainnear a chleachdadh airson co-mhaoineachadh le maoin Alba Chruthachail eile. Faic gu h-ìosal airson riaghailtean ion-roghnachd agus stiùireadh tagraidh.
