About Us

We believe that great art and culture make life better. We champion, develop and invest in experiences that enrich people's lives by supporting activities across the arts, museums and libraries. A key priority for Arts Council England is diversity, inclusivity and relevance. Within this country, there are places and people who have been disadvantaged by historic patterns of public funding, including within culture. Arts Councils new strategy, Lets Create, takes into account those historic imbalances, with a particular focus on the needs of those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, D/deaf or disabled people, and those from black and minority ethnic backgrounds, who have traditionally had least access to culture.

Disabled, D/deaf and/or neurodivergent people, those from Black, Asian and Ethnically Diverse backgrounds and people under 30 are under-represented in our workforce so we particularly encourage applications from people in these groups.
