Gaelic Arts Strategy (Year 6) Review & Development (360G-BNG-2324_3049)

The Gaelic Arts Strategy (2018-22: now extended to 2024) is designed to enhance the creative opportunities for Gaelic in Glasgow, and to create work of the highest artistic quality that appeals to a growing and diverse audience. Delivery of the Strategy enriches the life of the city, and the lives of the many Gaelic speakers who live in and visit Glasgow.
