Arts Council England sets out plans for working with museums and libraries
From 1st October 2011 the Arts Council will assume some responsibilities currently held by the Museums and Libraries Archives Council (MLA) following its closure.
Culture, knowledge and understanding: great museums and libraries for everyone articulates how ACE plan to champion, develop and invest in museums and libraries, and outlines how they in turn can contribute to the 10 year strategic goals in the companion publication Achieving great art for everyone
The new framework also sets out how ACE will work with museums and libraries over the next three years (funding period 2012-15) and provides a structure for the forthcoming funding decisions – including the revised Renaissance in the Regions major grants programme which is now open for application.
Arts Council plan to hold an informal consultation on the focus beyond 2015 to make sure that a wide range of views on the long-term ambitions of all the cultural areas within their expanded remit are represented.
