Arts Council England has produced a new ten year plan, replacing the one originally written in 2010.
Chief Executive Alan Davey said that the body wanted to integrate plans relating to museums, galleries and archives since the 2010 plan was written before their expanded role. The plan has five main strands:
- Excellence is thriving and celebrated in the arts, museums and libraries
- Everyone has the opportunity to experience and be inspired by the arts, museums and libraries
- Resilience and environmental stability
- A diverse and appropriately skilled leadership and workforce
- Every young child should have a chance to experience the richness of the arts, museums and libraries.
Introducing the plan, Alan Davey says:
“When we published Achieving Great Art for Everyone in 2010, people were sceptical at the notion of a ten year framework. The world will change, they said. How can something like this be valid over a ten year period? Well that was just the point. I wanted us to have a clear set of ambitions for the arts, knowing things were going to change, knowing money was going to be tight, that technology was going to change the way artists worked and audiences participated. Knowing that in short, we would be sailing on stormy seas.”
