Arts & Business, in association with the National Campaign for the Arts, has created a forum with the aim of representing the UK’s cultural sector in the debate on how best to reanimate private sector cultural funding in this period of economic difficulty.
The forum will be elected from a combined cultural membership of over 1,650 members who will vote for representatives to serve, initially for a year on a consultative task force, of up to 20 members. In the first instance the forum will focus on England.
Arts & Business and the NCA will open the call for candidates this Thursday, June 17th. The vote by arts members will be at the beginning of July and the first dialogue of the elected representatives will take place before the end of July 2010.
There will also be calls for nominations from among both arts memberships including Development Directors, fundraising professionals, CEOs and trustees to serve on this advisory forum.
In addition to this, Arts & Business will create a philanthropy taskforce to advise the Ministers and work with Trusts and Foundations who support culture.
