Hi I am probably just very behind the times, but have been catching up with the news from the Countries of Culture inquiry. The Inquiry is focused on the following areas: * The current funding situation for cultural sectors in the regions and sub-regions * The regional impact of local authority settlement on the cultural sector * New funding models in the cultural sector, including use of Lottery funding * Cultural partnerships in the regions, including with National Portfolio Organisations and Major Partner Museums * Skills, management and infrastructure of regional cultural institutions * Physical and virtual accessibility of cultural sectors in the regions, including digital outreach and engagement * Value and impact of culture in the regions And we can all give our opinions! You can submit views using the hashtag #countriesofculture on Twitter, and follow the Committee @CommonsCMS.
