How will Arts Council England work to create positive change for the arts over the next 10 years? Join the debate...
Arts Council England is currently asking for views about future priorities for the arts – Achieving great art for everyone. This consultation looks at work with artists and arts organisations to create positive change for the arts over the next 10 years.
This is your chance to make your voice heard and to contribute.
Jon Pratty journalist and digital publishing specialist who currently manages Disability Arts Online shares his thoughts.
‘When you open the doors to unfettered creativity it hits you hard. At the Arts Council's Decibel09 Performing Arts Showcase in Manchester I saw stuff that blasted me against the back of the theatre with excellence, impact and inclusion……
…..we’re great at making arts, we’re not all great at recording what we do and telling our own stories and in a shrinking funding base you’ve got to make your mark.
Talent development now is not just about artists, or curators, or writers. It’s also about learning to make a fuss about our work.
If we develop these skills we’re serving our own strategic agendas, not just developing cool arts, but developing healthy and popular routes to audience and funder alike.’
