This report presents the results of a survey of members of the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA) on the likely impacts on the arts of the global downturn, and on how arts councils and ministries of culture around the world are helping arts sectors meet the challenges of the downturn. The aim of the report is to consolidate the collective expertise of IFACCA members as quickly as possible in order to help members respond to the downturn in a timely and informed way. It is intended as a source of information and does not claim to provide answers or accurate forecasts about the downturn.
Arts councils and ministries of culture have a key role in working to minimise the negative impacts of the downturn on the arts and in helping artists and arts organisations navigate such uncertain times. They also have a key role in advising on and coordinating the arts and cultural aspects of the much-publicised central government responses to the downturn. With so much uncertainty over the degree and timing of impacts, the effectiveness of policy responses, and possible changes in organisational and consumer behaviour, the task of arts agencies is a daunting one.
IFACCA will continue to monitor news and research resources on this topic, which it will post online at:
