ACE Report: The value of Arts and Culture to people and society

At the Arts Council, when we talk about the value of arts and culture to society, we always start with its intrinsic value: how arts and culture can illuminate our inner lives and enrich our emotional world. This is what we cherish.

We also understand that arts and culture has a wider, more measurable impact on our economy, health and wellbeing, society and education. It’s important we also recognise this impact to help people think of our arts and culture for what they are: a strategic national resource.

The value of arts and culture to people and society – an evidence review, gathers information that shows where the impact of our work is felt, whilst also identifying any gaps to help shape future research commissions. Read the publication below or share our infographic.
