This major new report from the Campaign for the Arts and the University of Warwick is a health check on the UK’s arts and culture, bringing together vital information and official statistics on arts funding, provision, engagement, education and employment. It serves as a stark warning and a call to action for all of us.
The United Kingdom has a good claim to being a ‘state of the arts’, recognised around the world for its vibrant culture and heritage. The State of the Arts report lays bare the challenges the UK now faces to maintain and enhance this – at a time when the arts are under huge pressure, but also have huge potential to transform lives, society and the economy for the better.
