Arts Strategy for South Lakeland 2005 - 2010
An Arts Strategy for South Lakeland 2005-2010 has been
produced by the South Lakeland Arts Strategy Steering Group working
with consultants Phyllida Shaw, Keith Allen and Peter Booth.
The strategy was commissioned by South Lakeland District
Council and supported by Arts Council North West and Cumbria County
Council and is the result of a six month period of research and
consultation.
The development of the strategy was proposed in the
Local Strategic Partnership's 'A Cultural Strategy for South
Lakeland' which stated that "an issue as important and far reaching
as the arts in the cultural life of the district required separate
detailed consideration".
The arts strategy offers a clear framework for the development
of the arts in the district over the next five years and will be
implemented alongside the Cultural Strategy for South
Lakeland.
The strategy document is in three
parts.
- The first part provides the context for the arts strategy and
opportunities for the arts in South
Lakeland.
- The second part proposes a vision for 2010 and has 3 aims and
13 objectives that will help realise that
vision.
- The third part illustrates the links between the
Arts, Community and Cultural Strategies for South
Lakeland and provides an overview of the arts in the district.
The strategy will be interesting to different people in
different ways but its implementation should benefit South Lakeland
as a whole. The strategy is for everyone who is
involved in the arts in South Lakeland and is not for a single
organisation.
It is a working document and provides the starting point for
the action planning process which is the next step now that the
strategy is in place.
