Brexit: Impacts on Arts and Culture - April 2021
By Dr. Kate Mattocks, Lecturer in Politics, University of East Anglia.
Before Brexit, the impact of leaving the EU on the arts and cultural sectors was widely, although not universally, predicted to be negative. Legally, member states fully control their own cultural policies in the EU.

The Arts After BREXIT - April 2021
The Arts After Brexit: The impact of the UK’s departure from the European Union on its cultural relations with European Union Member States. By Dr Charlotte Faucher, The University of Manchester

One Dance UK – The UK Body for Dance
One Dance UK have been speaking to our members and stakeholders across the UK, and with Government to, define what Brexit really means for dance in this country.
This snapshot sets out what we’ve learned and our recommendations of how to safeguard the conditions that will allow the UK dance sector to continue to thrive after the UK leaves the EU.
If the right safeguards are not put in place after the UK leaves the EU, we anticipate a detrimental impact on the UK dance sector, including on dance artists, companies and the artform itself.
