Following the introduction of COVID-19 restrictions in March 2020, the impact on Scotland’s creative sectors has been severe. Alongside our emergency funding programmes Creative Scotland has undertaken and commissioned a range of research to gauge the scale and pattern of these impacts for those working in the sector as well as the views of the public as participants and audience members. This work supports discussions with Scottish Government and partners on the scale and nature of support which may be required in the future.
