Labour Arts Alliance was launched by Shadow Culture Secretary Harriet Harman MP Labour’s conference in Manchester.
It will make the case for the arts and campaign for the return of a Labour Government by:
- developing a national network of people in the arts and creative industries
- facilitating the sharing of objectives and best practice
- devising a strategy for the growth of the sector
- contributing policy ideas for the 2015 manifesto and beyond.
Harman said: “Manchester is the centre of so much art and culture. The Arts are fundamental to what it is to be human, for each individual, for all our communities and for the British economy.
"That is why a future Labour Government would ensure the arts are for everyone, not just for some—with real focus on young people.”
