  • Art is as complex as we are. It is hard for any one of us, artist or not, to understand who we are and what we genuinely do and art, which comes out of this creative chaos, reflects our situation and helps us recognise its variations, how we connect and disconnect with other people, places and ideas.

What Next? Local Authorities Briefing Paper 24/01/2024

This paper serves as a background to the conversation What Next? colleagues held in January about Local Authorities. At this current moment, the process of making the case for the arts is hugely difficult: arguments that pit culture spend against other departments and needs are unlikely to cut through in this crowded and urgent space, and arguments that rely on long-term economic growth are difficult to enact when all available funding is diverted to averting short-term crisis. In this landscape, how we make decisions about the arts and cultural provision that we want to enable and protect, and we how we take a shared and collaborative responsibility for this process becomes even more important.
