Hi I have a little more info about where the consultation on the new National Cultural Strategy has gone.
Well, apparently, and don't quote me, the issue is so important that more time has been spent on planning the process and ensuring that it does not look like just another civil service consultation. There will be four key issues (in no particular order): 1. Inevitably the structure of the national institutions (SAC Scottish Screen, National Museums) and their ability to deliver against the Executives objectives (as prioritised below) 2. Cultural Rights.... 3. How to get the creativity of the cultural sector (and the arts in particular) serving the economic needs of the country 4. and how to promote the cross cutting agenda. Personally, what concerns me is that this could lead to a completely metropolitan discourse around these issues.
