WHAT NEXT? What’s the future of arts and culture in the UK?

A free, public debate with key figures from the cultural / arts sector on what ‘art’ and ‘culture’ actually mean to people in Britain today.

Arts and culture is a right of every British citizen, a public good and not a private luxury affordable only by the middle and upper classes. How do we begin to celebrate and articulate as a nation the value and impact of art on all our lives?

This discussion will start with short provocations from our guests before the conversation opens out for you to have your say.

What Next? brings together arts and cultural organisations from around the UK to discuss the role of culture in our society.
