Arts Council England

 

Arts Council England is the national development agency for the arts - working to get great art to everyone by championing, developing and investing in artistic experiences that enrich people’s lives.

Between 2008 and 2011 we will invest more than £1.6 billion of public money from the government and the National Lottery to create these experiences for as many people as possible across the country.

We are committed to improving opportunities for the arts to increase reach and engagement through new digital media technologies. These areas offer enormous benefits to connect with audiences in new ways, bringing them into a closer relationship with the arts and offering exciting new possibilities to take part and engage.

We are committed to help the arts make the most of digital opportunities in a variety of ways. This includes new research, strategic innovation and capacity and skills building by both the Arts Council and the sector itself.

Arts Council England, North West is pleased to be supporting this year’s Big Chip awards, helping to ensure that our leading artists, arts organisations, and those that engage with the arts obtain the best possible support, development and advocacy to enable them to remain at the cutting edge of quality and innovation.
