The Scottish Parliament has a new Cross Party Group for ‘culture’.
The Scottish Parliament writes:
The group is intended to serve as:
- another forum to discuss cultural matters and ideas (meeting quarterly)
- something different from other CPGs, by making use of the talent in the sector to put on engaging performances and guest speakers
- an opportunity for stimulating discussion about ideas as well as processes/artforms
- a platform for further and wider learning (making use of social media and podcasting)
- a showcase for the arts in Parliament.
Group Officers are Convener, Jean Urquhart and Deputy Convener: Joan McAlpine.
