Arts Council England has recently launched the Culture and Place Data Explorer, an interactive tool that allows users to map investment in culture and creativity with over 200 other data indicators that tell us more about people and places across the country.
 
The aim for the tool is to encourage a data-enabled and evidence-based approach to cultural development across the country. Created to complement existing Arts Council data products, the Explorer has been developed in conjunction with delivery partner Five10Twelve and using Local Insight as provided by the Oxford Consultants for Social Inclusion (OCSI). 
 
The free web-based tool uses a Google Maps interface and includes Arts Council-funded organisations, Artsmark schools, libraries, venues, and arts-related charities, as well as local authority and census data.
 
Join James Evans, Data Governance Manager and Ria Jones, Senior Project Manager, Place to learn more about the data tools available from Arts Council England, a demo of the Culture and Place Data Explorer, Q&A session and opportunity to provide feedback.
