Foreword
«Two years ago, we started work on developing our new strategy for the period 2020 to 2030. Listening to people has been at the heart of that development process. We have talked to more than 6000 people from all across the country; from different types and sizes of organisations; independent creatives and freelancers; those funded by the Arts Council; and those whom we have not funded to date. As well as hearing from artists, people working in arts organisations, museum and libraries, we have sought the views of funders and policy makers, local authorities, children and young people and their parents and carers and the general public.
We have carried out a large-scale public survey, two formal consultations and numerous workshops. We have commissioned new research and undertaken an extensive evidence review; publishing reports summarising everything we heard.
In June 2019 we published our draft strategy which was built around three Outcomes and three Investment Principles. We then consulted on it. We wanted to hear what people thought and gather ideas on how we might best deliver the new strategy.
This report reflects what we heard during that consultation, as well as a statistical analysis of responses. We heard passionate and often conflicting views. The inclusion of particular comments should not be read as endorsement by the Arts Council. We wanted to produce a report that reflects as accurately as possible the breadth of response to the consultation. Everything we heard has been considered as we finalise the new strategy, which we expect to publish early in 2020. We also received a wealth of ideas for how we might go about implementing the strategy and we will use these in the preparation of our 202023 Delivery Plan, which we plan to publish in the Spring of 2020.
As with our first consultation in autumn 2018, what came through most strongly was a sense of collective ambition to embrace the opportunities and tackle the challenges that lie ahead of us. We began this journey by asking people what they thought the future of arts and culture in England should look like. From the beginnings of that conversation in 2018 to this point now, on the cusp of publishing our strategy for the next 10 years, we have been struck by the shared appetite for boldness and by a widespread understanding that for creativity and culture to flourish in this country it must touch everyone.
Thank you to everybody who has contributed to this consultation. Your time and your input have been extremely valuable to us and will, we believe, result in a strategy that is both stronger and more likely to realise its ambitions».
