Alan Davey, Chief Executive of Arts Council England said:
“The Creative Case Symposium is an unmissable opportunity for all arts organisations to reflect on the contribution diversity and equality make to their own development. It will give artists and arts organisations an invaluable insight into our vision for the next ten years.”

Tony Panayiotou, Head of Diversity at Arts Council England said:
“Arts Council England believes that the contribution of diverse artists to British cultural life is, and has always been, vital to a flourishing, vibrant and resilient arts ecology. Diversity has the unique ability to refresh, to replenish and to stimulate the arts by encouraging new work that challenges, innovates and takes risks. It is not possible to talk about a modern and relevant arts sector without talking about diversity and equality.”
