Organisation Profile | The Skinny
The Skinny is Scotland’s largest entertainment and listings magazine, targeting 16 – 35 year olds we are a free monthly newsprint press, with further information available online and via our weekly eNewsletter straight to your inbox with the top ten events for the week ahead.
The Skinny aims to encourage our readership to actively engage and participate with the cultural scenes and emerging artists across Scotland. Via extensive coverage of music, visual arts, independent film, literature and more we hope to provide awareness of the individuals, groups and communities that are creating Scotland to be renowned as a cultural hub.
Additionally, providing further coverage on international performers, bespoke events and the wide range of activities in Scotland we believe that we contribute towards Scotland being seen as a melting pot of inventive and forward thinking arts all year round. The Skinny aims to be a company that people love to work for, known for grafting hard and having fun, driven by a passion for our field and the products we create.
