We are delighted that the Traverse has been confirmed as a Multi-Year Funded Organisation with Creative Scotland, being awarded further funding that secures our core support through to March 2028.
This decision recognises the Traverse’s vital contribution to Scotland’s cultural landscape as a home for bold new writing, creative risk-taking and artistic excellence. It enables us to continue championing artists, supporting new work, and delivering ambitious programmes for audiences in Edinburgh, Scotland and beyond.
We extend our thanks to Creative Scotland for their continued confidence in our mission, and to our exceptional staff, artists, audiences and partners whose creativity and commitment drive the Traverse forward.
With Dave Moutrey, Director of Culture in Manchester, newly appointed as Chair of the Traverse Board, and Chief Executive Linda Crooks leading the organisation, we enter this next chapter with strengthened leadership, robust governance and a clear, forward-looking creative vision.
