Thursday, 14 January 2010
Park Plaza Riverbank, SE1 7TL
The State of the Arts Conference, organised by the RSA and Arts Council England, brought together a wide range of creative voices to debate the value and purpose of the arts at a time of significant change.
A big thank you to conference attendees for helping to make the day such a success. The sessions throughout the day stimulated interesting and vital discusssion about the current and future state of the arts in the UK, and both the RSA and Arts Council England are proud to create a platform for such necessary debate.
