Culture and Creativity Advisory Forum for the Cultural Olympiad
Leading figures from culture, creativity and the arts have pledged their support to the development of a national cultural programme leading up to the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games.
At the first meeting of the Government's new Culture and Creativity Advisory Forum for the Cultural Olympiad, held on 25 July, members made clear that they believe that the 2012 Olympics in London are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase the very best of Britain's arts, culture and creativity to a world-wide audience and to encourage excellence and greater participation by children, young people and communities across the country.
But they warned the Government that action is needed now to ensure the success of the Cultural Olympiad and called for a coherent national vision and a framework within which the cultural programme can be developed.
