With libraries closing and a sharp decline in the uptake of performing arts at GCSE, A-Level, and degree levels, the future of arts education looks uncertain. Will the new government learn from past mistakes and continue to invest in the arts, or will we continue to see cuts upon cuts? It’s time to prioritise creativity and education, not diminish them.

In sport, ‘excellence’ is well-understood as an absolutely essential prerequisite. Many policy makers, arts council members, and dumbing-down academics prefer that the arts are kept in a state of enforced mediocrity at best, by rejecting the concept of excellence. Real standards in the arts would reveal how threadbare are the basic skills of many of those today who claim their work is more important than the masterpieces of the past - but want to avoid others having the chance to experience the latter, in which context their own work will be seen as wanting. As Catherine Bennett points out: ‘Hint for funding applicants: engage, as Stalin also used to recommend, “with the stories of the contemporary nation”; avoid “excellence” and its synonyms. “Terms like excellence,” the ACE authors advise, “are indicative of the way in which opera and music theatre still retains unhelpful hierarchies about what kinds of work are valued.” “Good”, while permissible, should appear in inverted commas.’ https://lnkd.in/esqvRzEH

Curious how we use data in our concerts? 🤓🎶 We are able to analyze which popular artists in key locations, whose electoral margins are often decided by the size of a concert venue, will increase civic impact the most. To learn more check out this video where Emily White discusses our findings via SNF Agora Institute at Johns Hopkins University, moderated by Megan Ihnen! Shoutout to everyone who helped make this project happen including Eliza O'Reilly, Jasmine Lafita, Tomoya Furutani, #EmiHakutani, & Jackson Shapiro!! 🙌
