3 Arts Funding: Statistics

Summary Since 1994 responsibility for arts funding and promotion across Great Britain has been primarily split between the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments. Each relevant government department generally operates on an “arm’s length basis” for arts funding. Separate non-departmental public bodies receive funding (called Grant-in-Aid) from their respective government, as well as a share of proceeds from the National Lottery Distribution Fund, and are responsible for the arts within their nation. The exception to this system is the direct funding the UK government provides to national museums and galleries. Prior to 1994 there was one funding body, the Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB), with responsibility for distributing funding for the arts along a similar basis as today’s bodies.

This note will examine the funding and expenditure of arts councils within Great Britain from 1994 to the present. Additional analysis of direct UK government funding to national museums and galleries will also be presented. Analysis of ACGB arts funding and expenditure from 1955 to 1994 is included as an appendix.

There may be other funding streams for the arts from government sources, although in each nation the non-departmental public body responsible for arts funding is the primary organisation through which the arts are funded.

The primary sources for this paper are the annual reports and accounts for each arts council. Detailed tables, along with clear footnotes, are supplied in Appendix II. All graphs presented in the body of this paper have been created from data in Appendix II.

1. Arts Council of England The Arts Council of England (ACE) was created in 1994 from the division of the ACGB. The new organisation had much the same remit as the old, but rather promoting art across the whole of Great Britain the focus would be solely on England. At the same time ACE was selected to become one of the distributary bodies for the new National Lottery Distribution Fund to help further finance and promote the arts in England.1 ACE still received Grant-in-Aid financing from the UK government.

1.1 ACE Grant-in-Aid income and arts expenditure

During 1994/95 ACE was in receipt of over £296m GIA from the UK government. By 2015/16 ACE received over £462m – an increase of around 56% and an average annual increase of 2.5%.

Expenditure towards the arts amounted to over £286m in 1994/95. In 2015/16 ACE spent over £449m. This represents a rate of increase on par with increases in GIA income from the government.2

ACE Grant-in-Aid income and arts expenditure (2014/15 prices)

Total GIA and arts expenditure increased since 1994, although in its most recent history ACE’s GIA has decreased in real terms as has its expenditure on the arts.

Between 2009/10 and 2011/12 the annual GIA government funding that ACE received decreased by over £84m (17%). Funding did increase the following year, although since then it has decreased every year to 1 When reporting their financial position the arts councils are required to keep Grant-

in-Aid accounts separate from Lottery funding accounts due to differing accounting practices. As such this paper will not combine figures from the Grant-in-Aid and Lottery accounts for totals of income or arts expenditure.

2 Because only Grant-in-Aid money received direct from government is considered here and not the total income that ACE received during a financial year, it is not possible to calculate total arts expenditure as a proportion of total income.

ACE GIA Income ACE Arts Expenditure


the present. Compared to 2009/10 ACEs 2015/16 annual GIA was around £37m (7%) lower and art expenditure £25m (5%) lower.

Per capita GIA income for ACE has increased from around £6.15 per person in 1994/95 to around £8.45 in 2015/16. Per capita arts expenditure increased from £5.93 in 1994/95 to around £8.20 by 2015/16. In 2006/07 GIA income and arts expenditure for ACE reached its peak and was equivalent to £9.98 and £9.38 respectively.

ACEs annual reports included details on the value of grant funding3 by regional office (see Table A6 appended). In 2001/02 the regional offices were subsumed into ACE and grant information provided by region. From 2003/04 to 2012/134 the London area repeatedly received the greatest amount in grants per capita. In 2003/04 residents in the London area received around £23.58 per capita in grants awarded. By 2012/13 this had reduced to £20.32 per capita. The graph below shows grant funding by region per capita for 2003/04 and 2012/13.5

Per capita grant funding by region (2014/15 prices)

1.2 National Portfolio Organisations ACE offers organisations an opportunity to apply to be a National Portfolio Organisation (NPO)6 – that is an organisation that will receive regular annual funding from ACE. Organisations which become an NPO are invited to complete a survey assessing their organisational profile,

3 All grants and funding offered to all organisations. 4 It is not possible to generate per capita estimates for 2013/14 (the latest year which

regional breakdowns were shown in the reports) because of changes in how ACE reported regions. It is not known how what areas were combined and how and so it would not be possible to generate accurate mid-year population estimates for these regions.

5 Does not include grant funding awarded nationally. In 2013/14 geographic regions presented by ACE were altered. It was not clear as to how the regions were re-assigned and so grant funding by region per capita in 2013/14 could not be presented. The 2014/15 ACE annual report did not include a regional breakdown of grant funding.

6 Major Partner Museums (NPOs focused on museums) are not considered in this section.

financial statements, number of performances and exhibitions etc. This data is collected to help ACE asses its NPO funding decisions.

In 2014/157 683 NPOs answered the annual survey supplied by ACE. The graphs below show the distribution of NPOs and funding by region and art form in England. The London region has the greatest number of NPOs (36%) and received the second largest proportion of ACE NPO funding. The region with the lowest number of NPOs was East England (4%) and it received the second lowest level of funding (4%).

Only 1% of NPOs were deemed to have a national importance but these received by far the greatest amount of funding (38%).

Distribution of NPOs by art form, 2014/15

7 Because the amount of NPOs responding to the annual ACE surveys changes each

year it is not possible to directly compare years. ACE does try and provide a constant sample (considering only those same organisations which answered in the same years) although these focus primarily on the structure of the organisation, e.g. staff, and not regional/art form break downs. Table A9 appended shows this information for each year from 2011/12.

Theatre, visual arts and combined arts were the top three disciplines which NPOs focused on accounting for a combined 69% of all NPOs. Together they received 73% of all ACE NPO funding. NPOs without a specific art form focus and those focusing on Literature received the least amount in ACE NPO funding (2% each).

1.3 ACE Lottery income and grant commitments

ACE started to receive funds from the National Lottery Distribution Fund during 1994/95 although in its first year no hard grant commitments were made.8 Funding received from the National Lottery in 1994/95 totalled over £77m. By the following year this had risen to over £377m and grant commitments equal to over £355m.

ACE Lottery income and grant commitments (2014/15 prices)

During the millennium year ACEs income from the National Lottery was over £255m. Grant commitments totalled over £182m. From 2002/03 income from the National Lottery decreased year on year until 2008/09 when it began to increase. This continued until funding income decreased in 2013/14 before rising again in 2014/15. Income in 2015/16 was roughly £13m greater than 2000/01 levels.

The value of grant commitments fluctuated throughout the entire period. During 2010/11 the value of commitments (£103m) was the lowest since the inception of the National Lottery. In 2015/16 the value of hard commitments from National Lottery money was over £140m – 23% lower than in 2000/01.

8 Hard grant commitments are grants that have been formally offered to arts

organisations, although the grants may be paid over a number of years. They are classed as expenditure in the year they were committed.

ACE Lottery Income Grant Commitments


2. Scottish Arts Council (Creative Scotland)

As with ACE, the Scottish Arts Council9 was formally created as an independent organisation after the breakup of the ACGB in 1994.10 Creative Scotland (CS) has the same remit as ACE although focused in Scotland. It receives Grant-in-Aid money from the Scottish Government and a share of the proceeds of the National Lottery.11

2.1 Creative Scotland Grant-in-Aid income and arts expenditure

In 1998/99 CS received over £39m in GIA funding from the Scottish Government. By 2014/15 this figure was over £51m – a 31% increase and an average annual increase of 1.8%. Arts expenditure by CS in 1998/99 was over £36m. By 2014/15 this figure was over £46m – a 28% increase and an average annual increase of 1.7%.12

CS Grant-in-Aid income and arts expenditure (2014/15 prices)

GIA funding from the Scottish Government increased between 1998/99 and 2006/07. Over this period funding saw an average annual increase of just over 10%. In the year 2007/08 there was a reduction in funding of over £18m (25%). GIA funding in 2014/15 was 9.1% lower than in 2007/08 and 7.4% lower than in 2010/11.

CS arts expenditure also increased at an average annual rate of 10% up until its peak in 2006/07. As with income, arts expenditure had a sharp

9 In 2010/11 the Scottish Arts Council was merged with other Scottish arts

organisations to form Creative Scotland. This section will use the name Creative Scotland even when referring to pre-2010/11 figures.

10 Data is only readily available as far back as 1998/99. 11 See note 1. 12 Because only Grant-in-Aid money received direct from government is considered

here and not the total income that CS received during a financial year, it is not possible to calculate total arts expenditure as a proportion of total income.

decrease in 2007/08 by 29%. During 2014/15 arts expenditure was 18% lower than in 2007/08 and 11% lower than in 2010/11.

Per capita GIA income for CS has increased from around £7.69 per person in 1998/99 to around £9.57 in 2014/15. Per capita arts expenditure increased from £7.16 in 1998/99 to around £8.72 by 2014/15. In 2006/07 GIA income and arts expenditure for CS reached its peak and was equivalent to £14.52 and £15.55 respectively.

2.2 Creative Scotland Lottery income and grant commitments

CS received money from the National Lottery Distribution Fund from 1994/95, however, annual reports (for what was then called the Arts Council of Scotland) going as far back as 1994/95 are not readily available.

During 2000/01 CS received just under £28m in real terms from the National Lottery. For 2014/15 this had risen to just under £35m – a 25% increase.

CS Lottery income and grant commitments (2014/15 prices)13

From 2001/02 until 2008/09 CS income from the National Lottery had a general downward trend – National Lottery income in 2008/09 was around 41% lower than in 2001/02 with the average annual decrease being 5%. From 2008/09 income increased year on year at an average rate of 18% so that by 2012/13 income from the National Lottery was £35.8m. The income for 2014/15 was 3% lower than the peak.

The value of grant commitments fluctuated throughout the entire period. In 2010/11 the value of commitments (£13.8m) was the lowest since 2000/01. Between 2010/11 and 2013/14 there was a pronounced rise in commitments (a 216% increase) before another sharp fall of 31% in 2014/15. The value of grant commitments in 2014/15 was £13.4m (79%) greater than in 2001/01.

CS Lottery Income Grant Commitments


3. Arts Council of Wales As with ACE and CS the Arts Council of Wales (ACW) was formally created after the breakup of the ACGB in 1994. The ACW has the same remit as ACE and CS although it focuses on Wales and receives GIA funding from the Welsh government and a share of proceeds from the National Lottery Distribution Fund.

3.1 ACW Grant-in-Aid income and arts expenditure

During 1998/99 ACW received £20.5m from the Welsh government in GIA funding. By 2014/15 this had increased to £32.7m – an increase of £12.1m (59%). ACW arts expenditure over the period increased from £19.1m in 1998/99 to £33.5m in 2014/15 – an increase of 75%.14

ACW Grant-in-Aid income and arts expenditure (2014/15 prices)

From 1998/99 GIA income received from the Welsh government increased year on year at an average annual rate of 7.6% until reaching a peak of £37.2m in 2010/11. Since that date each year has had a decrease in funding – an average decrease each year of around 2.4%. Art expenditure by ACW increased by almost 100% between 1998/99 and the 2010/11 peak of £38.2m. Expenditure decreased slightly following the peak (2.6% between 2010/11 and 2013/14). Arts expenditure dropped by 10% in 2014/15 compared to the year before.

Per capita GIA income for ACW has increased from around £7.10 per person in 1998/99 to around £10.60 in 2014/15. Per capita arts expenditure increased from £6.61 in 1998/99 to around £10.84 by 2014/15. In 2010/11 GIA income and arts expenditure for ACW reached its peak and was equivalent to £12.22 and £12.54 respectively.

14 Because only Grant-in-Aid money received direct from government is considered

here and not the total income received during a financial year, it is not possible to calculate arts expenditure as a proportion of total income.

ACW GIA Income ACW Arts Expenditure


3.2 Revenue Funded Organisations In the same way that ACE has National Portfolio Organisations ACW allows organisations to receive regular annual funding – these are called Revenue Funded Organisations (RFOs).

The ACW report for 2014/15 indicates that there were 71 RFOs in receipt of a combined £27.7m.

Distribution of RFOs by art form 2014/15

In 2014/15 the three areas of art which were granted the most in in RFO grants were theatres and arts centres, theatre production and presentation, and opera. Combined these art forms received 67% of all RFO grant funding whilst only having 35% of RFO organisations.

3.3 ACW Lottery income and grant commitments

As with ACE and CS, ACW started to be in receipt of National Lottery funding from 1994/95. ACW annual reports pre 1998/99 are not readily available.

During 1998/99 ACW received £18.1m as share of proceeds from the National Lottery. By 2014/15 this had decreased to just over £18m – around 0.8% lower. In 1998/99 £18.2m worth of grants were offered. In 2014/15 this had declined to £17.2m – a 5.5% decrease.

ACW Lottery income and grant commitments (2014/15 prices)15

From 2001/02 through to 2007/08 ACWs share of the proceeds from the National Lottery general declined – the value of money received in 2007/08 was around 38.6% lower than in 2001/02. This decline is in line with ACE and CS suggesting that there was a wider decline in the funds available from the National Lottery generally. From 2008/09 the value of money received began to increase until it reached a peak of over £20m in 2012/13 (72% higher than in 2007/08). There was an immediate decrease the following year of 14.5% before a slight rise in 2014/15.

As with all the arts councils the value of money awarded to the arts fluctuated throughout the entire period. During 1999/00 a peak of £27.3m was awarded whereas the lowest value of grants awarded occurred in 2008/09 (£4.9m).

In 1998/99 the ACW received around £6.27 per capita. In 2014/15 per capita income was around £5.83. Per capita ACW awarded around £6.29 in grants using National Lottery money. By 2014/15 this was around £5.57.

4. DCMS National Museum and Gallery Funding

Aside from giving GIA funding to the Arts Council of England, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) also directly provides funding to museums and galleries which are deemed to be of national in scope and importance.16 The graph below shows total DCMS funding for 15 organisations between 1999/00 and 2014/15.17

Total DCMS National Museum and Gallery Funding (2014/15 prices)

In 1999/00 the value of grants from DCMS to national museums and galleries totalled £289.1m. In 2014/15 this had decreased by 4% to £276.9m. From 1999/00 there was a general trend of increasing funding to national museums and galleries reaching a peak of £423m in 2008/09 – this represents an increase of 46% and an average annual increase of 5%. From 2009/10 there has been a year on year decrease on funding from DCMS. The value of funding given to national museums and galleries in 2014/15 is 50% lower than the peak in 2008/09.

Selected DCMS National Museum and Gallery Funding (2014/15 prices)

Selected DCMS National Museum and Gallery Funding - % of funding

The charts above show funding data for selected galleries. In real terms funding increased for each of the galleries between 1999/00 and 2009/10, although in 2014/15 there was a decrease in funding in all. By comparing the two charts it can be seen that while funding for the galleries increased between 1999/00 and 2009/10 their share of total DCMS funding typically decreased (except for the Tate Galleries).

The Tate Galleries had increases in the share of total DCMS funding for national museums and galleries between 1999/00 and 2009/10 (5.5 percentage points higher in 2009/10 than in 1999/00). In 2014/15 the Tate Galleries share of DCMS funding was reduced by 3.6 percentage points.

The National Portrait Gallery’s share of DCMS funding reduced between 1999/00 and 2009/10. In 2014/15 its share of funds increased so that it received the same proportion as in 1999/00.

5. Appendix I: Arts Council of Great Britain, 1955-1994

The Arts Council of Great Britain (ACGB) distributed arts funding until 1994. The ACGB evolved from the work carried out by the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (CEMA) during the Second World War and was granted its Royal Charter on August 9 1946.18

As with the current non-departmental bodies, the ACGB received Grant-in-Aid resources directly from the UK government and distributed funding around the country in order to promote the arts. The ACGB directly funded the arts in addition to providing grants to smaller councils (the Scottish and Welsh Arts Committees) which re-distributed funding for the arts in their locality.

5.1 ACGB Grant-in-Aid income Between 1955/5619 and 1993/94 the ACGB did not receive real terms year on year increases in funding from the UK government. Whilst annual funding did increase over the entire period (£18.2m in 1955/56 to £364.2m in 1993/94) there were periods, particularly in the mid and late 1970s and 1980s, when funding decreased.

ACGB GIA Income (2014/15 prices)

Per head of population the ACGB received around £2.11 of funding from the UK government during 1970/71. By 1993/94 this had increased to around £6.48 – a 207% increase. During the same period the population of Great Britain increased by 3%. The graph below provides ACGB GIA income per capita between 1970/71 and 1993/94.20

ACGB GIA Income per capita (2014/15 prices)

5.2 ACGB Grant-in-Aid income: England, Scotland and Wales

As stated the ACGB received funding from the UK government and released some of this money as grants to the Scottish and Welsh Arts Committees. By subtracting these amounts away from the total ACGB GIA income it is possible to get an estimate for the amount of GIA money assigned to the arts in England.21

By following this method real terms ACGB government GIA income for England in 1955/56 was £15.8m. By 1993/94 this was £305.7m – around 84% of the total ACGB GIA income.

In comparison the grant that the Scottish Arts Committee received from the ACGB during 1955/56 was £1.7m in real terms, increasing to £37.4m by 1993/94. For the same years the Welsh Arts Committee received grants of £0.75m and £20.9m in real terms.

21 During the period examined the structure of the annual reports changes. In some

years it is explicitly stated that funding/expenditure is for England whilst in others it is not. As such the method described here is only an estimate as funds described as being assigned to England may have also been used to fund arts organisations operating all over Great Britain.

ACGB GIA Income per capita by country (2014/15 prices)

By considering income share based on population size Scotland and Wales consistently received more funding per head of population than England.22 Between 1970/71 and 1993/94, on average, Scotland received around 24% more GIA money per head of population and Wales 41%.

It is worth noting that while Scotland and Wales did consistently receive greater funding per head of population between 1970/71 and 1993/94, around 1986/87 and 1988/89 the funding gap decreased. The amount of money Scotland was receiving more than England per head of population dropped by around 29 percentage points and around 30 percentage points for Wales.

difference in per capita funding for Scotland and Wales compared with England never rose more than 16%.

5.3 ACGB Total Arts Expenditure By combining the stated arts expenditure from the main ACGB accounting tables, as well as the supplemental Scottish and Welsh arts committee expenditure tables, it is possible to get an estimate on the amount of money ACGB spent on the arts in Great Britain.23

In real terms, spending on the arts increased from £15.6m in 1955/56 to £275.5m by 1993/94 – an increase over 1,600%. As with Grant-in-Aid income, expenditure on the arts decreased in the late 1970s and early/late1980s. Graph 6, below, shows total ACGB arts expenditure over the period.

ACGB arts expenditure (2014/15 prices)

In real terms the ACGB spent around £2 per head of population on funding for the arts in Great Britain during 1970/71. By 1993/94 this had increased to around £4.90 (a 123% increase) although this was 50 pence lower than the peak per capita spend of £5.40 in 1987/1988. During the same period the population of Great Britain increased by 3%.

23 Because only Grant-in-Aid money received direct from government is considered

here, and not the total income that ACGB received during a financial year, it is not possible to calculate the arts expenditure as a proportion of total income.
