About

 

A developing platform for research and reports that draw attention to some of the challenges and opportunities within the cultural sectors. It will support those running institutions and those keen to develop arts-related projects by sharing experiences and research; promoting the sector; helping to develop solutions; and identifying areas which the government or local authorities may wish to (re)address, and making the case.

The past year has presented many new and very different challenges for the sector. However, some opportunities have emerged, and it is essential that all is done to ensure these are grasped. There is a lot at stake. An appreciation of the value that the arts bring in terms of economy, culture, health, soft power and community must be fostered and the potential for cultural organisations to play a key role in supporting the post-pandemic recovery recognised.
