Funding culture and the arts

Wednesday, 2nd March 2011

Guest of Honour: Colin Tweedy, Chief Executive, Arts & Business

This seminar will look at the options for funding art and culture in the UK, with the Government announcing a cut of 15% to the national budget for frontline arts in the Spending Review.

Delegates will assess potential new sources of funding, including corporate and private philanthropy, ways organisations can innovate to deliver more for less and the possible impact of reduced public investment on British culture in the future.

Other confirmed speakers include: Meg Abdy, Director, Legacy Foresight; Ian Brown, Artistic Director & Joint Chief Executive, West Yorkshire Playhouse; Dr Stephen Deuchar, Director, The Art Fund; Chi-chi Ekweozor, Director, Real Fresh TV; Tim Jones, Executive Director, motiroti; Sandy Nairne, Director, National Portrait Gallery; John Nicholls, Managing Partner, Arts Quarter; Julia Payne, Director and Co-founder, The Hub; Mark Robinson, Managing Director, Thinking Practice and Liz Thompson, Director of Communications, Royal Shakespeare Company.
