A new approach to investment

Earlier this year we asked the arts and culture sector how we should invest our funding from 2018 onwards.

We listened, and today we're publishing a report of the consultation findings, and our response to it, which outlines the changes we'll make to our investment approach from 2018. They include;

  • Including museums and libraries in our investment portfolio for the first time
  • Lengthening National Portfolio funding agreements from 3 to 4 years
  • Introducing 3 bands in the National Portfolio
  • Introducing a new category of ‘Sector Support Organisations’ into the National Portfolio

Research agency ComRes led the consultation for us, capturing feedback from over 1,000 stakeholders in the sector.

Darren Henley, Chief Executive, Arts Council England, said: "These changes will help us build on the progress we’re making towards fulfilling our strategic goals. They will ensure the impact of our investment is far reaching; that we support a wider range of organisations and artists: and that we do more to develop talent,  encourage ambition and champion our national creativity.”
