This time last week, we were just finishing up our final Future Arts Centres team meeting of the year. It was great to spend time together reflecting on 2024, and planning lots of exciting activity for 2025. Thanks to Old Diorama Arts Centre for having us!

Following his visit to the opening night of @southhillpark's panto, it was brilliant to see MP @PDJSwallow requesting a debate in the House of Commons on funding for arts centres. We'll watch this space with interest!

Congratulations to @southillpark for a wonderful Panto this season! It's great to hear the Government recognising the power of local arts venues, and the importance of Panto in funding their activities year-round.

Last week, we were delighted to welcome Louise Stewart from @ChesterRaces as the first speaker in our new series of Creative Enterprise talks, where we invite guests from beyond the sector to share their response to 'if you were running an arts centre, what would you do?'. (1/2)

Louise shared thoughts on engaging corporate partnerships, and also challenged arts centres to scale up our thinking: are you thinking big enough? Thanks to Louise for joining us. Next in the series is Andy Haldane, Chief Executive of the RSA, with more announced soon. (2/2)

It's been a busy couple of weeks of Future Arts Centres activity, including Heads of Finance from 22 arts centres meeting to discuss current issues from different revenue streams to National Insurance. It's great to see this group extending leadership within organisations. (1/2)

Interested in the use of AI within the cultural sector? Future Arts Centres is one of the sector support organisations that has worked with @amadigital to create a template for use as a starting point for cultural organisations creating an AI policy: a-m-a.co.uk/ai-sector-suppor…

AI Sector Support Example AI Policy - Arts Marketing Association

This AI policy has been created to support cultural organisations across the UK, as a starting point to amend to fit specific context.

Further to this, some FAC members met last week to discuss their current use of AI (including expediting repetitive tasks), sharing advice on what they've learned so far (from tone of voice to accessibility criteria), and discussing the potential of AI for arts centres. (2/3)
