EventScotland, the national events agency, has announced that three events in Aberdeen City and Shire have been successful through the latest round of its Regional Events Programme.
The events, which will share a funding award totalling £29,000 are the festival of new music sound, the Aberdeen International Youth Festival and the North-East's biggest open doors art festival the North East Open Studios (NEOS).
Jacky Niven from North East Open Studies commented:
"We are thrilled that thanks to EventScotland we have the opportunity to promote our NEOS event to a wider audience and encourage more visitors to experience the wealth of creative talent the North East of Scotland has to offer."
