Analyse and explain the barriers to the growth of the UK art market and assess what government interventions would be effective to help overcome these barriers.

Background

AHT would like to develop its understanding of the impact that their sectors have on growth and productivity in the UK, both in an economic and social sense. It is also interested in developing knowledge around how AHT sectors help to develop positive socio-cultural impacts, such as an increase of civic pride, wellbeing and health for those who participate and engage with the sectors.
