We are currently supporting a comprehensive study looking at the feasibility and potential benefits of providing loan style financing to artists, creative practitioners and small creative organisations across Scotland.

The study was commissioned by Shetland Arts and Mission Models Money who are interested in how loan financing might complement existing means of financing the creative industries such as grants and burseries.

As one of our valued members, we would be very grateful if you could follow the below link and complete an on-line survey, the responses to which will form the main body of the research:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/loans_for_artists_survey

The survey should only take no more than 15 minutes to complete and doing so will help form a strong body of evidence concerning the finance and support needs of Scottish artists and creative practitioners.

By way of thanks, BOP Consulting (the consultancy contracted to deliver the research) are offering respondents the chance to win one of two £20 Amazon vouchers.

Please note that all responses to the survey will be stored securely and kept completely anonymous.
