L'Associació d'Idees, managing body of La Escocesa, has been forced to issue this note to clarify the current situation and future of the centre, due to the confusing statements made in the press in recent weeks by l’Associació de Actors i Directors de Catalunya.
La Escocesa is a centre for the production of visual arts, municipally owned and independently managed by our association through an agreement with the City Council of Barcelona. In 2011, the Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB) have decided to increase its financial support to the centre, taking into consideration the professional work we have developed in recent years. L'Associació d'Idees is keen to continue this work in the future, in order to benefit the arts community and to collaborate as before with other centres in the city and the City Council.
