SPACEMAKERS FOR THE NEW

SINCE 1961

Page 2: Arnolfini What's Right Presentation Nov 2016

Arnolfini 1975 – the first entrant to the Harbourside regeneration initiative – pioneering the idea that Contemporary Arts could be a force for change and renewal for re-generating urban culture & local economies.

Previously a dilapidated quarter, bereft of industry and attractions, Bristol’s floating harbour became a thriving cultural centre, a rebirth widely recognised as having been catalysed by the arrival of Arnolfini. Capturing the convivial yet laidback atmosphere of its waterfront site, Arnolfini has helped foster the city’s reputation for serious creativity.

The facts of life in a changing world• The last 6 years have see cuts in central government funding to Arts of 27%• In the past 3 years Local Authorities in England have cut 200M in Arts related funding• Bristol City Council provide the least amount of support funding to arts & culture of any major city in England & Wales • The deregulation of lottery funding has resulted in new lottery opportunities for most charitable sectors – except for the arts which is not designated as ‘ a good cause’ in the current regulatory framework• The past 12 years of Department of Education policy in curriculum has seen Arts relegated to being mostly an ‘optional’ luxury for schools with huge emphasis being placed on STEM (Science Engineering Technology & Maths)
