Arts Council England has published its three-year Delivery Plan today, which sets out how it will implement the strategy for its Let’s Create vision introduced just before the pandemic.
The Let’s Create vision states that by 2030 England will be a country in which the creativity of each individual is valued and given the chance to flourish, and where everyone has access to a remarkable range of high-quality cultural experiences.
To help make this vision a reality the Delivery Plan has named 54 priority towns and cities across England that it will work closely with these locations to develop new opportunities for investment, both from the Arts Council and other partners.
As well as this, the Delivery Plan highlights where there are opportunities for investment, collaboration, and progress including opening up National Lottery Project Grants to non-accredited museums.
“We know that we need to do more to support museums, especially those beyond our current National Portfolio,” the report said.
Arts Council England is the national development agency for creativity and culture. Between 2018 and 2022 it will have invested £1.45bn of public money from government and an estimated £860m from the National Lottery.
During the pandemic the Arts Council was one of the bodies that administered the Culture Recovery Plan, which saw £1.96bn of public money invested into museums and other cultural organisations across the UK.
