Summary: It almost goes without saying that one of the most important developments in the history of the Arts in this country has been the establishment and growth or the Arts Council of Great Britain. It has lifted a country with no tradition of state sponsorship in this field to one of the foremost in the world. This collection of essays has been commissioned from a group of men whose influence on the growth of the Arts Council has been immense, whose contribution to the Arts immeasurable. The essays cover 35 years of work, in the disciplines of drama, the visual arts, music - and they look at the Arts Council’s evolution, policies, its relationship with the artist, and its achievement. As we move into the 80s it is essential that we carry with us an understanding of what happened in the 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s, to learn and to improve, if not to admire. (Font: Editor)
