Achieving great art for everyone

< Return to news index

On 19 January Arts Council England launched Achieving great art for everyone - a consultation on future priorities for the arts. The results of the consultation will inform a ten-year strategic framework and the Arts Council’s future investment decisions.

Achieving great art for everyone sets out the Arts Council’s understanding of the current arts landscape and pinpoints the areas that the Council believes need development. This is the first time the Arts Council has brought together all art forms and development areas into one set of long term priorities.

The consultation document outlines a vision for the future of the arts where England is a global creative hub, a platform for world-leading artistic excellence and innovation, and a great place for artists to live and work.

The Arts Council is inviting artists, arts organisations, partners and anyone interested in the arts to take part, including those from the commercial, amateur and voluntary sectors. The consultation will run until 14 April 2010 with the framework being published in late 2010.
