Arts & Business Scotland announce shortlist for 2010 Awards

“This year’s shortlist illustrates the wealth of creative partnerships between culture and commerce happening throughout Scotland.

Imaginative sponsorships are making a vital contribution to a huge range of projects across the country, from outdoor performances of Shakespeare in Dumfries, to a Pirates Parade involving 500 young people in Peterhead.

The fact that businesses, large and small, continue to invest in the arts demonstrates that these creative partnerships make good commercial sense.”
Barclay Price, Director, Arts & Business Scotland
