Arts Bill 2002: Second Stage.

 

That is the next major hurdle, but I have no doubt the Minister will ensure the matter is dealt with. A balance is required. We need practitioners and managers, but also people with practical knowledge of business, marketing and financial management and people involved in the arts. A good mix is necessary so that the board can fulfil the needs of artists, audiences and communities within a general cultural policy. I welcome these provisions in the Bill.
