Arts, Cultural and Heritage
Introduction
The Arts, Culture and Heritage sectors includes our museums and galleries, as well as the video games, music and film and TV industries. These diverse, and growing, sectors are a key contributor to the UK’s economy, as well as being a core part of millions of people’s cultural lives.
Previous Creative PEC research has looked at issues such as how to measure the economic value of cultural and heritage sites, the challenges faced by the live music sector, and the state of public investment in the arts.
