What has been an almost hidden force of cultural values is beginning to show itself. A recent poll done by NPR/PBS NewsHour and Marist conducted July 15-17, 2019 reveals that the majority of Americans believe in the following ideas:

DCMS to work with HMRC and the cultural sector to explore the definition of R&D for the creative industries – initially feeding into the recently-announced HMT consultation on R&D in the Spring Budget. Broaden Digital Access for Producers and Consumers: AHRC will galvanise new research on the barriers to entry into the digital market faced by freelance artists and smaller creative organisations, and will work with DCMS to look into framing new policy interventions that level up commercial opportunities for streaming beyond larger institutions and beyond London. We will incentivise the bigger players to make their platforms open source and / or develop a shared platform to give smaller cultural practitioners more control over their content and how they profit from it. Targeted research by the AHRC Creative Industries Policy & Evidence Centre to understand how R&D can be bolstered within the cultural and creative industries, to quantify the value of creative R&D, and to offer workable policy solutions. Ray and Anderson assert "values are the best single predictor of real behavior". The list below outlines the values dictating a "Cultural Creative"'s behavior: You question the so-called “prosperity gospel” that God will make your wealthy if you just think the right things. Instead, you identify with the poor, like Jesus did, and support social and political causes that provide for the poor and oppressed.Community and audiences - Engaging people and communities and growing audiences locally, regionally, and nationally, through festivals, events, community programmes, and digital and online activities.

Overall, we find that cultures are not more or less creative than one another, rather their cultural values and their enforcement through norms determine whether a country realizes its creativity through creative relevant skills, task motivation or domain-relevant knowledge. During the pandemic, Entelechy Arts shifted its provision for its communities including the elderly, those living with complex disabilities, and residents of care homes, to phone, post and some digital. This required staff to provide vital additional access support and help their communities with the right technology so they could participate. The programme was done in consultation with and co-owned by their communities, ensuring it was impactful and enjoyable. They started a weekly radio show with the Albany Theatre in Deptford, hosted by some of their members, who also produce the content for it. They also worked with artists to produce regular creative phone call clusters including poetry, singing and making, delivered workshops via zoom, plus sending out written and sonic letters and 250 creative boxes for people in isolation. They recently sent out a new box based around sound and vibration for people living with dementia, visual impairments or complex disabilities. Maximising the confidence and agency of their participants was critical, as some had not left home for six months and this was one of their few opportunities to engage with the outside world.

The 2024 priorities

But alongside this digital acceleration there is the onset of digital fatigue. Not all forms of cultural production give satisfaction when translated online. Sometimes they are not felt to be worth paying for, or worth consuming at all. The digital is not a substitute for live performance. Rather the evidence we have gathered suggests the internet is serving to sharpen our appetite for physical cultural experiences. How will all of this play out? When restrictions relax, will digital offerings revert to being niche experiences? Will user-generated content continue to grow or simply subside? Many of the people we spoke to envisage a future hybrid model where digital and physical components complement each other and are mutually beneficial. Conscious Connection was designed as the premier magazine for cultural creatives. But what exactly is a cultural creative, and are you perhaps one of them? This article will provide some insight on this emerging demographic and present several cultural creative qualities to see if you are a part of this group of people dedicated to changing the world. In summary, the structures that had contained cultural industries within national boundaries were now pushing them centrifugally both in search of new markets and in creating market-driven efficiencies. Cultural industries moved into ever larger and more competitive markets, in which the consumer bases often became more highly specialized, forging niche audiences. Many cultural industries were motivated to seek new markets by concurrent reductions in public funding for culture, including the arts, public service broadcasting, and heritage production. These changes happened unevenly depending both on the industry and its governance within different countries. In many regions with public service broadcasting, such as Europe, Latin America, and Asia, the global spread of cable and satellite technologies accompanied the liberalization of those public markets. In the United States, the near-defunding of the National Endowment for the Arts in the 1990s pressured artists, performers, and other self-employed cultural workers to be more entrepreneurial and rent-seeking in their endeavors (Gibson, 2002). Highly commercialized cultural industries, such as film, also transformed. Hollywood production companies could shed the least profitable sectors of their production processes through outsourcing, independent freelance contracts, and location-based film shooting. The latter process has been referred to as “runaway production” because it has meant the dispersal of film labor and locations previously centralized in Southern California to places as far away as New Zealand, the Czech Republic, and Argentina (see Gasher & Elmer, 2005).

Boundless Creativity benefited from access to the latest data of The Audience Agency’s COVID-19 Cultural Participation Monitor as well as new data from the AHRDC/NESTA Policy and Evidence Centre. ↩ A call for collaborative research to increase understanding of how digital content for international audiences can support international touring, once international touring resumes.

It will work with other relevant networks (e.g. the National Academy of Social Prescribing) to identify the local assets partnerships and delivery mechanisms best suited to a national roll-out of arts-and-culture-based policy to redress the health inequalities that have been amplified by the pandemic. Development of new Boundless Creativity funding calls, subject to the spending review, designed to achieve size, ambition and scale. Devised by AHRC in collaboration with DCMS, and launched successively over the next 24 months to target the specified research fields highlighted in the recommendations below, to help drive the UK creative and cultural sector’s recovery from the pandemic, and to reap its economic and social benefits.
