A CCA spokesperson said: “We have fought incredibly hard to keep CCA alive and to make sure we would be here for the long term.

“This funding is a recognition of that fight, and a testament to the resilience, creativity and determination of our team, the artists we work with, and the community that has stood by us.”

The CCA is among 251 cultural organisations that will share over £200m through multi-year Creative Scotland funding after a financial boost from the Scottish government.

The Dundee Rep Theatre was granted funding as well as two independent cinemas, The Belmont in Aberdeen and Filmhouse in Edinburgh, which were both closed in October 2022 when their parent company went into administration.

The teams behind the cinemas hope to reopen them soon with the new financial backing.

Last year some of Scotland’s best-known music acts warned of a looming “cultural catastrophe” due to cuts in arts funding.

Creative Scotland’s funding decisions were delayed by three months as the Scottish government could not confirm its own budget allocations until the UK budget was announced.
