The creative industries provide about £124 billion to the UK economy, with the cultural sector supporting 666,000 jobs. However, many arts and culture related venues, museums, libraries and heritage buildings are struggling.
The Arts Everywhere Fund will provide additional financial support to the creative industry, particularly aimed at organisations in urgent need of financial support to stay up and running and to carry out vital infrastructure work.
The government sees the creative sector as having potential for growth and is hoping this support will drive growth and help to create opportunities for young people to learn creative skills and protect jobs.
