5 Year Arts Strategy for Jersey

Jersey, a British Crown Dependency, has a rich and distinctive heritage, beautiful natural landscape, and increasingly dynamic and innovative arts sector. This includes leading arts organisations such as Art House Jersey, Jersey Opera House, Jersey Arts Centre, and a plethora of socially engaged and participatory providers. The Government made a commitment to investing 1% of GDP to the arts from 2022. This Strategy provided the Government with an evidence-based framework and plan for arts and cultural investment, governance and partnership. It led to the establishment of a new Creative Island Unit and programme.
