The Campaign for the Arts has launched a new petition, urging the new Prime Minister to make the arts and culture an integral part of his forthcoming “10-year plan” for the UK.
On his first day in Downing Street, Andy Burnham said:
“Later this year, I will bring forward a new plan for Britain, a 10-year plan, laying out a path from where we are now to where I believe we all want Britain to be, wherever we’re coming from, whatever party we support.”
We believe that the arts and culture must be part of the plan, as an essential ingredient in the future we all want to build.
Campaign for the Arts Director Jack Gamble said:
“Whoever we are, wherever we live and however we vote, we need the arts in our lives. This 10-year plan is a golden opportunity to unlock their potential to transform lives, communities and the whole country for the better. By revitalising the arts, we can revitalise the nation.”
