Achieving great art for everyone
Informed by a major consultation, Achieving great art for everyone sets out a 10-year vision with five ambitious goals at its heart.
It argues for excellence, founded on diversity and innovation, and a new collaborative spirit to develop the arts over the long term, so they truly belong to everyone.
It believes there is more we can do together to nurture and champion talented artists and promote England as an international artistic centre. It commits the Arts Council to working even harder to support the organisations and artists it funds, deepening the value and impact of their work.
With its focus on long-term collaborative action, the strategic framework will enable us to work with partners towards positive change in the arts. It provides the rationale for our investment in the arts and will inform our future funding decisions.
Culture, knowledge and understanding: great museums and libraries for everyone
A companion to our 10-year strategic framework for the arts Achieving great art for everyone, this publication is our first attempt to integrate museums and libraries into this framework. It is designed to provide certainty as to the programmes the Arts Council will run from 2011-15 while soliciting further debate about the directions we should take in the longer term.
