Bringing us to today
These reports, commissioned by Arts Council England, outlined the growth of a sector, in particular leading out of the Millennium Dome development, but identified a fragile sector. The report recommended that Arts Council England prioritise action on a number of areas in order to support this growth. This action focused on Artistic Development, Infrastructure, Advocacy and profile and Distribution and audience development.
Author David Micklem suggested that Grants for the Arts had a positive impact on the sector. He reports on 14 regularly funded organisations whose main area of work is within outdoor performance, alongside a rise in artistic quality within the sector.
However, many of the issues raised by Hall in her initial 2002 report remained.
This report was informed by consultation with artists, organisations, producers, promoters, ACE staff, local authorities and stakeholders.
It recognises the ongoing investment being made by local government and the potential of outdoor performance to meet the agendas of other broader stakeholders including Higher Education and organisations such as National Heritage.
It sets out a framework for collaboration with partners and the investment in the development and production of outdoor performances with the intention of maximising the number and range of people who have high quality experiences of the arts.
The report also contains a definition of “outdoor arts work”
