Three arts organisations, whose emergency funding applications to Glasgow City Council’s oversubscribed Communities Fund were rejected, are set to share £725k after the council decided to redistribute cash from other budgets that have been underspent due to the pandemic.
The Common Good Fund, normally used to provide civic hospitality, has underspent by £430,000. Of that £290k will go to the Citizens Theatre, together with a further £145k taken from the Culture and Recreation Fund which usually supports the city’s events programme. A further £195k from this fund will go to the Tron Theatre, and the Centre for Contemporary Arts will get £93k.
