Donating today ensures that the Traverse can be a creative hub and a champion for cultural agency all year round. Beyond the Festival we remove barriers to artistic careers, enable creative practice for all, and platform crucial stories for, and about, our communities.
Making a gift means:
- Young people and emergent artists can access programmes like Class Act and Breakthrough New Writers.
- New scripts and playwrights can be developed with professional support.
- We can continue to partner with and support community groups like Street Soccer Scotland, SocialBite, and Intercultural Youth Scotland
Together we can grow cultural engagement and place Scottish excellence on the world stage.
The Traverse is Scotland's premier new-work producer, creating award-winning new plays, curating the most exciting national and international work and developing the brightest Scottish artists for over 60 years. As a creative hub, we enable artists and audiences to make sense of the world today, providing a safe space to question, learn, empathise and – crucially – encounter different people and experiences. Not only are culture and art at the heart of what we do but so are our community and audiences. We champion removing social and financial barriers to cultural participation; empowering emergent talent and growing arts as a tool for change and social benefit.
