'Last week Jan Higgitt and I
attended an event in London concerning Cultural Commissioning.
Cultural Commissioning is a
three year programme which will l help
arts and cultural organisations to better engage with public service
commissioning, maximising their opportunities to diversify income and work with
communities to deliver social outcomes. It is being led by the NCVO and
is an important project for the arts sector especially those who work with
public funders.
The event was very
interesting and we saw some great examples of work across the county and I was
delighted to attend a presentation by Kate Gant from Creative Health and the
toolkit that they are working on for artists who are working in the health
sector. Kate is well known to the arts and health sector within the county and
we will look to develop our relationship further.
I also attended a
commissioned piece of work undertaken in Plymouth from health commissioners who
are working with arts and museum sector again to deliver well being outcomes.
Once all the workshops are on
a website I will make sure you have access to them.
Please go to the website
This contains more
information regarding the programme as well as a report outlining further
opportunities that are available for arts organisations.
I am going to continue to
find out more of this programme but it seems hugely relevant to us here in the
WAP.
Many thanks
