The Arts Dividend looks in depth at seven key benefits that art and culture bring to our lives: encouraging the UKs creativity; advancing education; impacting positively on health and wellbeing; supporting innovation and technology; providing defining characteristics to villages, towns and cities; contributing to economic prosperity; and enhancing Englands reputation for cultural excellence on the global stage. This book encourages us to consider the countrys unique levels of creativity and the invaluable rewards to be gained from the public investment that enables great art and culture to be a part of everyones lives, no matter who they are or where they live.
