key culture texts (arts council)

When researching I came across a paper by the the Arts Council England which was an incredibly useful point of reference for my research. The paper is called: an evidence review PEOPLE AND SOCIETY PEOPLE AND SOCIETY TO OF ARTS AND CULTURE ARTS AND CULTURE VALUE. It lays out both how to try and measure cultural value whilst also breakdown different aspects of approach to the idea of cultural value. The paper also cited throughout two others which were equally useful: Enriching Britain: Culture, Creativity and Growth (warick commision) and Understanding the value of arts & culture (The AHRC Cultural Value Project).

The three papers all look into cultural value but approach the subject from slightly different ways and are more detailed in some areas of the argument than others. They are particularly useful when trying to define cultural value as a concept in my paper.
