Local Government and the Arts
Abstract
The arts have traditionally been seen as a minor policy concern for local authorities. Recent developments, however, have served to give the arts a new importance as a contributor to a range of policy initiatives within local government. This new importance has arisen as a result of the 'attachment' of the arts to other policy concerns. This article discusses why the arts have been utilised in this fashion and what consequences have arisen from this 'attachment' strategy for the arts in local government circles. The benefits that are associated with increased attention being focused upon the arts need to be weighed against the costs of so doing in terms of the core concerns of the policy area.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
