LGA response to the Arts Council England 2018 conversation
The LGA’s member councils remain the country’s biggest public funders of culture, investing over £2.0 billion per year into arts, museums, libraries and other cultural services, thus playing a key role in increasing exposure to culture for communities across the country.
Councils also lead on the spatial planning, regulation and infrastructure that underpins a thriving visitor economy, of which culture is often a major component.
The LGA is therefore pleased to contribute to the Arts Council England 2018 conversation, which will contribute to the Arts Council England strategy 2020-30.
