22/05/2026Note from our Executive Director
We are receiving a lot of interest, with questions around what we mean about "showing a commitment to Gaelic language and culture". We hope this helps:
About Language
It matters to us that applicants can show a commitment to speaking and/or learning Gaelic and promoting its usage, as well as learners having the willingness to work with others who are fluent if they are not fluent themselves. If you are working with a group of people to shape your project, let us know who will take part, if possible.
About Context
This award scheme aims to highlight the significance of Gaelic language and culture within Argyll and Bute. So please remember to highlight why your project matters where you live and work, and why, therefore, it would be viewed as important to support at this time.
About Experience
Please do highlight your experience of any previous art/heritage work in the context of and/or promoting Gaelic language and culture to date. This will help us understand how important your project is to you at this time.
Any questions, please don't hesitate to contact info@chartsargyllandisles.org
