The future of Arts Council England is under review.
@ace_national is one of the most significant public funders of new music.
A 2022 survey of Ivors Classical Awards winners and nominees found that 82% had received support from ACE – highlighting its vital role in the careers of composers and music creators.
The government is carrying out a full review of Arts Council England to assess whether its purpose, structure and ways of working still meet the needs of today’s cultural sector.
We’ve launched a short survey to ensure the voices of songwriters and composers are represented. Whether or not you’ve received ACE support, your insights are essential.
Complete the survey by 11 April.
Your input will help us advocate for a stronger, more inclusive future for music in the UK.
