Arts debate overall findings now available!

06 November 2007 by Sylvia

The overall findings of the arts debate are now available on the arts debate website.

Public value and the arts in England: Discussion and conclusions of the arts debate brings together the findings from all the different stages of the arts debate research, providing an account of how people think and feel about the arts in England and their priorities for public funding.

Among other sources, the report draws on the hundreds of responses we received to the open consultation stage of the debate in spring 2007. A separate and detailed analysis of these consultation responses is also now available on the site, entitled The arts debate: Summary and analysis of consultation responses.

Over the coming months the Arts Council will be sharing and debating the findings widely and developing a detailed response. We will be incorporating some immediate actions in our next corporate plan as well as publishing a long-term policy paper in spring 2008.
