answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2022 answer text <p>The table below shows the amount of grant funding DCMS and its delivery body Arts Council England (ACE) are estimated to have awarded to art galleries in each financial year from Financial Year 2017-18 to 21-22. These figures include an estimate of grants provided to arts galleries via Arts Council England, and DCMS direct Grant in Aid provided to the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and the Tate. We have not included individual art galleries part of other DCMS sponsored Arm’s Length Bodies as it is not possible to break down costs at this level.</p><p>These figures include estimates produced by ACE that include both exchequer and lottery funds. ACE does not have a method of calculating funding spent on art galleries specifically (beyond Museums, and Visual Arts, as high-level classifiers), but can determine funding for projects taking place in galleries, and can identify some galleries funding through name-searching for galleries in funding databases. This provides an estimate for ACE funding support for galleries and activity in galleries, but is not precise.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>TOTAL (£m)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£69.29*</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018/19</p></td><td><p>£156.23</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019/20</p></td><td><p>£168.30</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>£203.66</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>£206.42</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>£803.90</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>*There is no comparable funding data available from ACE for 2017/18, this therefore includes only DCMS direct Grant in Aid provided to the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Galleries.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 01/11/2022 10:52:47 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
