Hammersmith & Fulham Council are currently seeking feedback on a arts strategy for the borough. They have missed Fulham Palace from their list of cultural sites, so we would like to ask you to complete the survey and state how outrageous this is please. For all the information see below:
"How could the arts and culture be better in H&F? We’d like your views
Hammersmith & Fulham is home to a vibrant arts and culture scene. But we want to make it even better. We’d like your views on our plans to make that possible, which are set out in our new draft Arts Strategy. The draft strategy is available to read here<http://www.lbhf.gov.uk/Images/LBHF_Arts_Strategy_DRAFT_tcm21-200513.pdf>.
There are three core themes: destination, creation and inclusion.
Destination: To enhance the contribution of the arts to the local community and economy by developing Hammersmith & Fulham as a thriving borough for the arts and promoting it as a creative and exciting place to live in, do business in and visit from within London, across the UK and overseas.
Creation: To enhance the experience of living and working in the borough and boost the local economy by stimulating artistic achievement and supporting adults, children and young people from a wide range of backgrounds to create, produce and perform excellent art of all kinds.
Inclusion: To ensure that residents from diverse backgrounds get more opportunity to enjoy and participate in a variety of types of art which challenges and inspires them and promotes their health and well-being.
We’ve been talking to lots of local arts organisations already. Now we’re keen to reach as many people as possible, whether you’re involved in producing art of any kind, or you just enjoy listening, watching or viewing. We know that time is tight. Consultation happens all of the time and lives are busy. But we’d really appreciate your response by 29th February 2016.
