A chockablock blog this week with no room for me to get my two-penneth in! Thanks for all the email - great to hear from those of you in far-flung places - and those of you nearer to home. For those who might have missed it, (no, not Mussolini) there is a potential PhD opportunity to work with me on the arts, health and devolution agenda across Greater Manchester. If you’re interested, you don’t have long to apply, so follow the instructions and advice HERE. For those of you interested in the devolution agenda, but perhaps not a PhD, I’ll be hosting an event in May where we can explore the arts health terrain across Greater Manchester in terms of devolution. More details on this blog very, very soon.
Arts Council England opens conversation with arts & culture sector on investment from 2018
Arts Council England is asking the arts and culture sector to respond to proposals published today about its investment in arts and culture from 2018 onwards. The Arts Council’s current investment cycle ends in 2018. In preparation, it is looking at its three main investment strands - strategic funds, grants for the arts and its national portfolio. All three strands, and any changes to them from 2018, will continue to support the Arts Council’s 10 year strategy, Achieving Great Art and Culture for Everyone, which was developed in consultation with the public and the arts and culture sector.
Four-year funding contracts, a tiered framework for NPOs and a ring-fenced budget for individual artists, and integrating funding for arts, museums and libraries, and the focus of strategic funds are just some of the proposals being put forward for discussion as Arts Council England consults on its plans. The full proposals document can be found by clicking on Rowlandsway House above.
