DCMS is investing £1.5 million in the Ferens Gallery to help them host the Turner
Prize; plus £0.5 million to help create a lasting cultural legacy for Hull. The Gallery
will receive a further £0.5m from ACE for refurbishment. My department is also providing
£3.1 million to three ACE-funded organisations -Artlink, Freedom Festival and Hull
Truck Theatre - who will play a key role in the 2017 events. Hull Museums, now among
ACE's Major Partner Museums, have been awarded £2.5m between now and 2018; and an
additional £3 million from ACE will help raise the profile of culture in the city
and promote new partnerships throughout 2017. This amounts to over £11 million and
does not include additional investment that might come from other bodies such as the
BBC. <br />
