"Your work gave us insights into the needs of individuals working in the sector, and catalysed the development of resources for artists and organisations. It has informed our submission to the DCMS Select Committee on the impact of Covid-19 on the sector, and it has fundamentally fostered closer collaboration between the regional networks. For the first time, I can see the potential of this collaboration starting to be realised. More broadly this work has initiated a meeting of visual arts sector support organisations and the start of new alliance."

- Craig Ashley - Director, New Art West Midlands

- Emma Andrews, Arts and Culture Development Manager
Heritage and Culture Warwickshire, Warwickshire County Council
