Access
Our Funding Agreement with Arts Council England makes clear our commitment to increasing access to the arts.
The New Audiences Programme was established by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport in April 1998, as a one-off £5 million fund.
Coordinated by Arts Council England, the programme was designed to bring new audiences to the arts and to take new art to audiences across the country. The programme was extended and subsequently attracted a further £15 million.
As part of its "ambitions for the arts" manifesto Arts Council England pledges to create more opportunities for people to experience and take part in life-changing artistic experiences, through:
- Making, doing and contributing
- Watching, viewing, listening and reading
- Performing, playing and publishing
