Arts Council Consultation

 Arts Council  England are consulting on their strategy for the next ten years. It's 'identify the key long-term goals that drive our decision-making, our investment priorities and our relationships with artists and audiences'.  Can I urge all people concerned about art funding issues to have a look and respond? the documents can be found here: http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/consultation/

While people will make up their own minds, its worth noticing that the word  'health' does not occur in this document once....

Its worth comparing that with the Welsh Arts Council's strategy 'Arts In Health and Well-being'  at http://www.artswales.org/publication.asp?id=727

You may feel you're on the wrong side of the Bristol Channel, but we should be letting ACE know there's more to the arts than elitism!
