Summary: A dramatic shift is taking place in public perceptions of the arts, from being seen as the preserve of an elite, to being a concern for the majority. This raises crucial questions about the role of arts in national life, local communities and social and economic change. Arts and Communities presents evidence of the breadth and sources of arts activities which play an increasing part in daily life and are valued for participation building up communities and furthering a range of social issues. But many local initiatives are under severe strain or have collapsed as a result of turmoil in local authorities and the voluntary sector. Will new policies give arts in the community a fresh lease of life? Will the networks of local initiatives find a collective voice and national influence? What funding and support structures are needed to sustain arts in the community, ion and nationally?. Arts and Communities concludes with eighteen recommendations to develop further the arts in communities movement, with far-reaching implications for national policies, not only in the arts but in related social fields.
