This consultation on future priorities for the arts sets out our understanding of the current landscape, celebrates the success of the arts and identifies areas for development over the next ten years. 

We are asking for your thoughts on the way forward. Your views will inform our long-term strategic framework and our next set of investment decisions. Our strategic framework will be published in late 2010. 

You can respond to the questions online and your comments will be automatically collated and sent to us.

We also welcome written responses. You can download a PDF or Word version of the questions. Complete the form and email it to or send it to: 

Alessandra Scapin, Arts Strategy, Arts Council England, 14 Great Peter Street, London SW1P 3NQ.

Please respond to all or some of the questions. It would help us, if you give as full a response to our questions as possible. You may want to relate your answer to a particular artform.

Take part in the discussion 

We plan to publish a range of stimulating think pieces intended to generate debates and responses. You don’t need to register to post comments – just provide us with your name and organisation title.

The closing date for submissions is 14 April 2010. For more information see our privacy and data protection page.
