Year of Creative Scotland 2012
A year long programme of events to celebrate Scotland’s world class culture and creativity will run throughout 2012.
Scotland's contribution to the arts is substantial including well known painters like Vettriano, orchestras, dance and opera companies who can stand proud on the world stage, designers and sculptors.
The contemporary art scene is thriving too with top art schools like the Glasgow School of Art teaching the next generation and Scotland's art history on public display in over 300 expertly run galleries and museums around the country.
