Botanical Gin,
exquisitely distilled
and lovingly
handcrafted
in Scotland
Forget Me Not is not just a gin...
It’s an opportunity to support the arts and acknowledge the positive contribution creative industries make to society. Literature, visual and performance art touches our lives daily and for that we have to thank the many architects, actors, dancers, filmmakers, musicians, painters, poets, photographers and writers (amongst many others) who’s hard work we have the privilege of enjoying. Sadly, arts funding has been cut across the globe over the past decade. Many of the artists we know and love today received financial assistance in their early years that allowed them to become successful, full-time artists. We want to help plug the funding gap that exists today so that tomorrow’s important artists get the support they need to reach their full potential. The Covid-19 pandemic has already lead to further cuts in arts funding and the situation will only worsen as we enter a worldwide recession, so artists need our support more than ever.
See our Projects section for more information on how we will use profits from Forget Me Not to support arts programmes around the world.

Projects
We will regularly update you with information on the charities, grants and programmes we will be funding from our profits, and the first we are proud to be supporting is the SWG3 Graduate Programme. This is a 12-month sponsored studio residency and commissioning programme open to artists and designers each year. The programme has been running since 2005 when SWG3 first opened its’ doors to artists and has become one of the most sought after opportunities in Scotland for creatives to continue to develop their practice after higher education. To date over 60 graduates have benefited from this platform and many are now established and successful practitioners. SWG3 has always had a focus on early stage support for creative talent and the unique environment and programme at SWG3 has a very accessible approach to the arts, which has allowed many new projects and collaborations to develop from their studios. The application process will open on September 1st and is available to all current year graduates and leavers from arts and creative industry practical courses who can show a studio based approach to their work and a real commitment to their practice. We will update you when SWG3 start accepting applications for this year’s graduate programme and will of course inform you when the artists and designers have been chosen.
