The Scottish Arts Council (SAC) has launched its AmbITion Scotland scheme, a new £800,000 programme aimed at supporting arts organisations to improve their digital offering.

The project will provide free workshops, events, online material, case studies and online tools to organisations and institutions hoping to develop their electronic services.

Iain Munro, co-director of Arts, Scottish Arts Council, said: "AmbITion Scotland is a flexible and exciting new programme that will ensure that digital support is available to all arts organisations, no matter what their scale. We greatly look forward to seeing the benefits snowball through the entire arts sector and wider community.”

AmbITion Scotland will also look to address SAC’s corporate aims, including raising the overall level of digital technology used within the arts sector and encourage Scotland's competitiveness in a “21st century market”.
