Visual arts policy
Our policy summarises the context for the visual arts and the Arts Council’s role. It sets out our vision for the visual arts and the priorities we have set to help us deliver it. Our overall ambition is for people, wherever they live in England, to be able to experience and be stimulated by the best in the visual arts from this country and from around the world.
A dynamic artform that spans past and present, the visual arts include architecture, artist development, artists' moving image, crafts, learning and education, live art, new media, photography and public art.
