The Scottish Culture Secretary says the sector needs to have stable and supportive financial arrangements in place to fulfil its potential.
However, Angus Robertson, added that this could only be confirmed once Chancellor Rachel Reeves sets out her budget.
In a letter to the Chair of Creative Scotland, Robertson stated:
“The cultural sector is an integral part of our identity as a country. This is why we’re working hard to help the sector to fulfil its potential in Scotland by assuring at least £100 million more annually in funding by 2028-29,” he wrote.
“We await the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s budget announcement on 30 October which has a hugely significant bearing on the Scottish budget. Following that we will be able to set detailed budgets for the coming financial year including for the culture sector.
“I will continue to work in collaboration with Creative Scotland and the sector over the coming months to ensure stability until Creative Scotland have sufficient clarity to be able to announce the recipients of their Multi Year Funding awards.”
The Scottish Government budget will be announced on 4 December.
