Future Britain: Arts leading the way
Clore Auditorium, Tate Britain
15 June 2009
10 am - 4 pm
Future Britain: Arts leading the way, a national cross artform conference discussing the development of the sector over the coming years and its role in shaping Britain's future.
The conference will also launch the Arts Manifesto for the forthcoming General Election.
The NCA has been holding consultations up and down the country in order to gather views from artists and arts organisations which have informed the production of the manifesto. It is intended that the document will form the basis for an advocacy campaign to promote the value of the arts around the time of the election.
The conference will include expert panel discussions with leading figures from the sector as well as open discussion sessions and opportunities for questions.
