4.11h What is the structure of the UK commercial art market, and how does it contribute to the wider economy, and what barriers are limiting its future growth?

Background

The department seeks research that will help to support cultural sectors and DCMS policies to optimise its contribution to building national prosperity. DCMS is keen to develop a more robust evidence base on the fundamental mechanisms and drivers by which the cultural sector generates and distributes wealth. The department’s interests in this area include the impact of public investments on local economic growth, understanding the spillover effects generated by investments in cultural infrastructure, understanding economic, social, and cultural value derived from R&D in the cultural sectors, and understanding the impact of theatrical touring on national and international economies.
