Our investment from 2018: join the conversation

Wednesday 17 Feb 2016 @ 10:20
Arts Council England

This week, we are sharing with the arts and culture sector our thinking about how we might shape our investment activity from 2018.

We have published a set of proposals on our website and would like to engage as many people as possible in a conversation with us to help shape them further.

The proposals look at our three main investment strands: strategic funds, Grants for the Arts and the National Portfolio (including Major Partner Museums).

They include thoughts on: individual artists, changes to the National Portfolio and the focus for strategic funds.

Take a look at the proposals, the context for our investment and a message from our Chief Executive here.

How you can get involved

Please share your views on our proposals online. Managed by research agency ComRes on our behalf, we want to hear from anyone that has an interest in how we invest in the future.

Darren Henley, our Chief Executive said:
“The future we want to see for art and culture is set out in Great Art and Culture for Everyone, our 10-year strategy. Since we launched it we’ve seen many successes, with exciting work and new audiences. We are also facing considerable challenges around funding, reach and relevance. The proposals here address how we invest in the talent and ideas needed to address these challenges. We must ensure public investment creates more opportunities for everyone to enjoy a rich cultural life. We look forward to working with the sector on these proposals.”
