Over the next three months we’ll be working with the NCA, which campaigns and avocates for the arts sector across the UK, to help the organisation chart a new strategic course. At a time of almost unparalleled change in the sector, this is a crucial point in the NCA’s history, as it looks to identify how it can provide the most effective support to those working as artists or in arts organisations.

To help determine the organisation’s next moves, our work will include surveys of existing and former NCA members, plus widespread consultation with a good range of people working in the sector, and in funding, policy-making and umbrella organisations.

We’ll also be surveying the 21000+ people who’ve pledged support for the I Value The Arts campaign.

This feedback will inform our work to develop a set of strategic recommendations for the organisation from 2012 onwards.

More details here as the surveys go live…

As part of this project we invited music entrepreneurs to take part in a region-wide survey and to help us work up our recommendations for how the two agencies could best support music businesses in the region. We had a great response, and delivered our full report to the Arts Council and Yorkshire Forward at the end of the summer.

In light of the research, ACE and Yorkshire Forward are currently considering how best they can support the region’s buzzing music scene. As part of this, Yorkshire Forward is currently working with the new Business Link provider, which will broker relationships between creative businesses and specialist business support providers from April 2008. The two agencies also decided to publish our main findings at this point, so that they can share them with music businesses, entrepreneurs and other business support agencies across the region.

In response, we have put together a summary report, Yorkshire Music: a report into business growth needs and ambitions of the region’s music industry, which can be viewed at http://www.thehubuk.com/files/Yorkshire-Music-Report.pdf.
