The question of how to place a value on culture and heritage is the defining issue on which the future of investment in our sector hangs, and the question that Culture Makes… aims to answer through a bold and joyful celebration of the ways in which culture has an impact on our lives.
WE BELIEVE THAT CULTURE BENEFITS US ALL
We know that cultural and heritage organisations of all scales and locations create impact with and for their communities but to date have struggled to articulate the value of what they do in a clear and robust way. We have been caught up in binary arguments between intrinsic and social value for so long and failed to make our case effectively with the economic argument only capturing a fraction of the impact we create.
This is critical time for the cultural sector – with a general election being called at a time of ongoing standstill funding for central government, a more than £500m decline in investment from local authorities in recent years, in the face of losses due to Covid, ever-rising energy and wider cost of living increases and the news that philanthropic support of culture has more than halved - now is the moment for an overwhelmingly powerful sector voice that cannot be ignored.
