Starting in 1920, Scott helped to promote the creation of an art gallery and art school in Vancouver, neither of which existed in the city prior to that time.

In 1925 the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Art (later the Vancouver School of Art and currently the Emily Carr University of Art and Design) opened its doors to their first students. Scott's most significant contribution to the development of art in Vancouver was his tenure as Director of the school. He managed to keep the school going despite the Depression and the Second World War, and he was instrumental in getting Jock Macdonald and Group of Seven member, Fred Varley to teach at the school.
