Samenvatting
Participatory budgeting, a process whereby citizens are given the power to decide how a public budget should be allocated, is a growing phenomenon in the UK. So far it has been used mainly to allocate small, community-focused budgets separate from mainstream funding but it is now also beginning to be used on larger service budgets, which could have implications for many public services. Study commissioned by Arts Council England to explore the impacts of participatory budgeting on the arts. The Arts Council sees participatory budgeting as having potential implications for its work in involving the public and stakeholders in decision making and in its work with local authorities. Collectively, local authorities are the second largest funder of the arts in the UK and so any changes to how they allocate their its funding could have considerable implications for the arts sector. Report provides an early exploration of the trends, views, concerns and predictions around the current and future impacts of participatory budgeting on the arts. It maps the scale and type of arts projects that have been funded by participatory budgeting to date and the factors that have contributed to their successes and failures, and builds on these findings to explore potential future developments in participatory budgeting and how they may come to impact on arts funding. |
