How can the private sector support Manchester’s arts & culture recovery?
What’s so special about Northern culture? What about Manchester in particular? And why should the private sector care?
Law firm Slater Heelis and PR firm Galibier gathered a panel of the city’s arts and culture experts to explore what Covid recovery looks like for the sector, and if there is an ethical and economic imperative for the private sector to step up and support this.
Policymakers, practitioners and business and community leaders chewed over questions such as, “How can culture carve a place for itself within policy agendas?” and “How could private-public sector collaboration work in this space?”.
In the process, they advocated for greater, more long-term investment in Northern cultural infrastructure, as well as for a more complex kind of private sector involvement beyond “business-as-cash cow”.
“NOT MY BUSINESS?”
