Cultural Diversity and the Arts Research

The Arts Council and the National Action Plan against Racism (NPAR) entered into partnership in 2008 to carry out a significant research project to inform the development of a cultural diversity policy for the arts and an action plan to support culturally diverse practice into the future.
