Those of you who have been following our updates closely will remember our plans for ‘deep dives’, which are in-depth location studies of the eco-system of arts organisations in four different places across England.

We are pleased to announce we will be working with What Next? Chapters in Sunderland, Basingstoke, Nottingham, Yarmouth and Lowestoft on these deep dive location studies. The Chapters will map their arts infrastructure to better understand the eco-system and speak to audiences and stakeholders to find out what the community wants and expects from the civic role of their arts organisations.

Read more about the Deep Dives on the What Next? website and see our first bit of press from the Nottingham study.
