Forward Funding

In July 2000 the Arts Council was informed of the level of its grant-in-aid funding for 2002/03 and 2003/04. The Arts Council’s grant-in-aid funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport will be £295.4 million in 2002/03 and £335.5 million in 2003/04.

In July 2002, the DCMS announced future funding for the arts of £378 million in 2004/05 and £412 million in 2005/06.

New Audiences Programme

Over eight million people will have attended or taken part in a New Audiences event by March 2003. Most of these are people who would not otherwise have attended an arts event. The programme has been successful in reaching culturally diverse communities and disabled audiences, as well as young people and rural communities.

The Artsmark

Now in its third year, Artsmark goes from strength to strength. In the first round in 2000, 376 schools received an award, followed in 2001 by another 566 schools. Artsmark raises the profile of arts education across the country, and promotes links with the professional arts sector.
