Funding, development in the creative industries and cultural diplomacy are on the agenda in Guernsey

A renewed focus on professional development within the creative industries and cultural diplomacy are on the agenda for Guernsey Arts. In March, Rebecca Booth took over as Head of Arts Development. Speaking live in conversation with The Quarry at Guernsey Arts Sunday, she outlined the role of Guernsey Arts, how it brings together funding from government and the private sector and the impact that it has. Talks will also take place with colleagues in Jersey about the funding model there which has seen the government commit to spending 1% of its revenue budget on the arts, culture and heritage, some £10m.
