Our Business Plan sets out our vision and strategy for the next three years of Creative Edinburgh. It is intended as a fluid, living, guiding blueprint which will change and grow as we learn and adapt over the coming years.

The arts, culture and creative sectors in Scotland and Edinburgh have seen enormous change in recent years, with significant calls to re-evaluate established ways of working and question power dynamics within our sector. The need and appetite for change are evident, and it provides a perfect moment for Creative Edinburgh to reflect on the future of our work, who we are here to serve, and how we can do it better. What we’ve outlined here is the beginning of a conversation about our shared future.

This plan has been developed through extensive consultation with creative freelancers, small businesses, sole traders, industry partners alongside the Creative Edinburgh Board of Directors, Steering Group and Executive Team.
