The main purpose of the report is to help extend the knowledge of Scottish arts and culture for the agency beyond eastern Canada.

The arts and culture “connection” to Scotland could be that your heritage house has a Scottish story, you have exhibits of Scottish artifacts or archives on permanent display, you have a gallery with paintings by Scottish artists, your organization promotes Scottish arts and culture, or you have planned an upcoming exhibition or public programming on Scotland. Themes of emigration, settlement, farming, historical milestones, and public figures might prove prominent, as well as contemporary collaborations with artists, for example.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>If you’d like to be included in the report, please respond to this call with the following information by Friday, February 20, 2015 to</b> <a href="mailto:tmackay@museumsassn.bc.ca" target="_blank">tmackay@museumsassn.bc.ca</a> :<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Contact name:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Title:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Institution or Organization:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Address:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Phone:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Email:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Website:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Description of Scottish connection (suggested 500 words max, with web links for more info):<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please let me know.
