Increasing access to the arts in England

The Strategic touring programme is designed to develop audiences for great art in England and to build partnerships between artists, producers, promoters and venues, in particular, those on both the supply and demand sides of touring.

We are investing £45 million of Lottery funding in the programme over the next three years which complements other investments in building audiences for the arts such as our digital arts service The Space and our Creative people and places fund.
