A vision of Scotland
This vision sums up the Scotland we would all like to see. It describes the lives we would wish for Scotland's citizens and the sort of cultural sector that Scottish consumers deserve. The vision brings focus to the work of the Commission and it summarises for all contributors what we are all trying to achieve.
The questions for anyone offering ideas are these: how will the changes that you wish to bring about work to the benefit of the citizens of this country? does your suggestion help to achieve that vision?
This is the vision:
We envisage a future in which Scottish citizens can be enthusiastic for, and participant in, cultural activity in Scotland. Those citizens will appreciate excellence, and accordingly will be demanding of the cultural sector whether as consumers or artists.
In parallel, the cultural sector will have developed congruently such that it is able to satisfy demanding citizens, aspirant artists, international visitors and audiences around the world. Scottish cultural activity will reflect an appreciative, creative, cosmopolitan and multicultural society.
