Mar 20, 2018

policy, Arts Funding, workshop, Network News

CVAN networks worked closely with ACE to respond to the consultation on extending the creative industries tax relief to Museums and Galleries towards the end of 2016. The Museums and Galleries Exhibitions tax relief came into law in November 2017.

The scheme is now starting roll-out but claims can be backdated to 1 April 2017.

DCMS Inquiry: Social impact of participation in culture and sport

Feb 7, 2018

policy, Network News

The DCMS Select Committee is currently inquiring into the societal impact of participation in culture and sport. CVAN will be submitting evidence to the Inquiry and it is important that the evidence we submit is regionally balanced. There is very little time for CVAN to consult with the regions so we are urgently calling for relevant arguments strongly supported by clear evidence in the form of case studies. Closing date: 18 February 2018
