Arts projects compete for £3m funding
THE Scottish Book Trust, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Edinburgh College of Art are in the running to secure a £3 million arts funding prize for Edinburgh.
The three short-listed projects fought off competition from ten other Edinburgh-based arts organisations to be in the running for the prize, administered by the Scottish Community Foundation on behalf of an anonymous donor.
The aim of the award is to create an arts facility of cultural and architectural merit in the Capital, in a new or refurbished building.
The Scottish Book Trust's proposal is to significantly improve the Trust's premises at Sandeman House, off the Royal Mile.
Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop is seeking funding for a new world-class research and production facility, the "Creative Laboratories".
And Edinburgh College of Art wishes to create a secure, modern and highly visible gallery space to display rare works of art from its own extensive collections.
