TTS.Digital

About the Programme

TTS.Digital is a new fund from Creative Scotland, designed to support projects which will inspire digital creativity in young people through a series of youth-led projects working with arts and culture organisations in collaboration with technology partners.

The fund will be delivered in two phases:

Phase One will support up to 10 pilot projects.

Phase Two (from August 2015) will then support larger scale projects.

In both cases, the projects should be led by young people, and delivered by a partnership of arts and culture organisations in collaboration with technology partners.

In this first phase, we will be looking to award awards of up to £5,000. We anticipate awarding up to 10 projects as part of phase one.

What are the roadshows for?

The purpose of these events is to give potential applicants more information on the TTS.Digital fund, as well as a chance to share and discuss ideas.

Who should attend the Roadshow?

TTS.Digital is open to arts organisation and technology partners in Scotland. For the purpose of this fund we are defining technology partners as an individual or company working in the digital or technology sphere. They can be an artist, sole trader or a company working in the sector. Potential applicants from either of these industries are welcome to attend.

For general details of what types of organisations can apply go to:

As spaces are limited, we would ask that only two people attend from each organisation.

Do you have to attend a roadshow events to apply to this fund?

No, these are information sharing events where you can find out more about the fund, ask questions and meet possible partner organisations/companies. However even if you have a partner and an idea for a project we encourage people to come along as it will help to refine ideas and be better prepared to apply to the process.
