WQ.407/2019
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE
MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, SPORT AND CULTURE BY DEPUTY K.G. PAMPLIN OF ST. SAVIOUR
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 8th OCTOBER 2019
Question
What steps, if any, have been taken in response to the recommendations of Jersey Culture, Arts and Heritage Strategic Review and Recommendations', published on 27th November 2018, and the adoption by the States of Proposed Government Plan 2020-23: Increase in Revenue Expenditure on the Arts, Heritage and Culture' (P.40/2019); and what are the Minister's current plans for future funding of, and policy in relation to, the Arts in Jersey?
Answer
Relevant key Government departments and grant-funded arms-length organisations in the sector have been briefed on the findings of the Jersey Culture, Arts and Heritage Strategic Review in order to consider how the sector can assist in the delivery of wider government policies and priorities.
As a result of P.40/2019, growth funding for culture, arts and heritage is included in the proposed Government Plan 2020-2023. Work is under way to determine how the funding should be apportioned across the sector if the Government Plan is approved by the States Assembly.
The funding for 2020 includes a sum for the development of a new Culture and Arts Strategy that will build on the recommendations of the Strategic Review. This new strategy will subsequently guide how the funding for 2021 to 2023, proposed in the Government Plan, could be used to support culture, arts and heritage in Jersey. Consultation will continue throughout the process.
A separate Heritage Strategy will also be developed.
