<p>The Government believes that a thriving arts sector is vital for the cultural landscape
of this country. We highlighted in the recent Culture White Paper that we would like
to see a rejuvenated approach to corporate sponsorship of the arts. We are working
with Arts Council England and other partners on this agenda, including looking at
local level partnerships.</p><p> </p><p>Arts Council have already commissioned a new
Private Investment Survey and is currently inviting all arts and cultural organisations
in England to take part by April 29<sup>th</sup>. The new survey will be published
in the autumn and will provide an updated overview of private investment in England’s
cultural sectors, including at the local level. It will also bridge the gap in terms
of data on how the sector has developed since the last survey was published covering
data for 2011/12, which recorded business investment in the arts as £113 million.</p>
