Description
Dorset Council's Leisure Services are seeking to commission an arts and culture support service provider to further develop the successful work provided over the last six years and to drive forward the cultural strategic visions for Dorset, working with the Dorset Council Officers leading on Cultural services.
This is a five-year contract and will require the supplier to provide infrastructure support to the arts and cultural sector of Dorset, to work with organisations and creatives to stabilise and recover following the pandemic of 2020 and 2021.
The supplier will champion the power of economic and social impact of the arts through collaborative partnership working and through development of new funding streams to provide infrastructure support to Dorset's arts organisations and those working in the cultural sector. Through effective leadership, the service will drive the creation of a successful and effective framework such as a Cultural Compact for Dorset and to co-lead with the Council, and the development of a dynamic and productive educational partnership to benefit all young people in Dorset.
