Cultural venues to receive funding to improve access to arts and culture

This week (9 May 2022), the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport announced that cultural venues including museums, galleries and public libraries are to benefit from up to £128 million of funding to help improve accessibility to the arts and safeguard their futures.

Organisations are now being encouraged to submit expressions of interest to receive funding. Support will be targeted to areas which have historically had lower levels of cultural investment and will be targeted on locally-led cultural projects, museums and public libraries in England.
