Independent Arts Projects (IAP) works with artists to make performance projects (artworks and experiences) for audiences and participants. Projects often explore identity and aim to make space for people to be themselves and see themselves. We sometimes work on stages but also like to work in community, arts, educational, care, online or outdoor spaces.
We believe everyone has a right to creativity no matter your age, background, experience or identity.
We work with artists to help develop their ideas. We believe creativity is essential for all of us to dream, to do, to thrive and to be. We believe in fair work, fair terms and fair pay. We believe in putting people first.
We are particularly interested in working with people who have not seen themselves or people like them on stages or leading projects in Scotland before. That could be on stage, back stage, off stage, in the rehearsal room, in a workshop space, in nature, a writing space, an office or somewhere else completely.
Our projects have been nominated for awards, included in case studies, shared as examples of good practice, received critical acclaim from national media.
