Two creative projects from Ayrshire-based organisations will be delivered thanks to funding awarded through Creative Scotland’s Open Fund.
Funding for The Cumnock Tryst and The Dark Horse poetry magazine are among the 53 projects in total sharing in over £1.2million of National Lottery funding.
The Cumnock Tryst is a four-day international festival bringing world-class musicians to Cumnock. Funds will support a year-round concert programme and a community engagement programme, a major community opera written and performed by community groups from across East Ayrshire and the development of a centre for excellence in the learning and teaching of composition.
A full list of recipients of Open Fund awards is available on the Creative Scotland website.
