Art for life's sake: Dutch cultural policy in outline

The Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science has released an English translation of its forward cultural policy agenda.

The report describes the forward cultural policy agenda of the Netherlands government. It is the Minister’s response to the recommendations the Council for Culture made in its advisory report Innovate, participate!.

Art for life's sake is divided into two sections. The first section looks at the full spectrum of ‘culture’: the arts, cultural heritage and the media. The second section looks at the division of responsibilities between the Culture Minister and the cultural funds, the 2009-2012 application procedure, and the structure of the external review process, all part of the Ministry's reassessment of cultural policy procedure.
