2. THE ARTISTIC POLICY OF THE
FESTIVAL
This is the festivalโs policy which I got from their
website:
โข Presenting arts of the highest possible international standard to the widest
possible audience
โข Reflecting international culture to audiences from Scotland, the rest of the UK
and the world
โข Offering an international showcase for Scottish culture
โข Presenting events which cannot easily be achieved by any other UK arts
organisation through innovative programming and a commitment to new
work
โข Actively ensuring equal opportunities for all sections of the Scottish and wider
public to experience and enjoy the Festival
โข Encouraging public participation in the arts throughout the year by
collaborating with other arts and festival organisations
โข Ensuring the Festival has adequate core funding to fulfil its mission and address
its sustainability.
