    Leeds Culture Strategy Draft Scrutiny Statement

    Leeds Culture Strategy Draft Scrutiny Statement Introduction 1. In accordance with the remit of the Inclusive Growth, Culture and Sport Scrutiny Board, we agreed at the beginning of the 2017/18 municipal year to consider and monitor progress with the city’s European Capital of Culture 2023 Bid as well as monitoring the development of a delivery plan linked to the city’s new Culture Strategy 2017-2030, which was formally adopted in July 2017. 2. In July 2017, we therefore received a detailed overview of the work undertaken to develop the Leeds 2023 European Capital of Culture Bid and expressed our support, recognising the cultural and economic value a successful bid could have to the city and the wider region. 3. However, in December 2017 we received a further briefing from the Chief Executive, Chief Officer for Culture and Sport and the Leader of the Council in light of developments surrounding the eligibility of the UK to host European Capital of Culture 2023. 4. In February 2018, the Director of City Development then provided an interim update on the development of the Culture Strategy Delivery Plan following the adoption of the new Culture Strategy for Leeds 2017-2030 and also the implications of events relating to the city’s bid for European Capital of Culture. At that stage, we also welcomed contributions from external witnesses representing the business sector and musical arts. 5. In consideration of all this information presented to Scrutiny, we have set out within this Statement our key observations and conclusions regarding the situation with the 2023 European Capital of Culture Bid and in moving forward with the delivery of the city’s Culture Strategy for 2017-2030.

Tacit knowledge acquired through hand skills, making, utilising equipment and working with processes is fundamental to developing understanding. Although practical learning is valued, the teaching of creative and making subjects is under threat in formal education. Within the fashion and textile industries there are skills shortages. Heritage crafts risk being lost as digital technologies and automation impact upon future generations. The Association of Fashion & Textile Courses (FTC) conference Futurescan 4: Valuing Practice, provides an international forum for the dissemination of research, creative practice and pedagogy surrounding fashion and textiles.

Association of Fashion and Textile Courses (FTC) The Association of Fashion and Textile Courses (FTC) was formed in 1977. Today, the FTC exists as a subject association to promote and develop fashion and textiles through academic debate, education and research. Through its networks, the FTC has extensive links with industry, public and professional bodies and acts to advise on quality in educational matters nationally and internationally.

    Major Capital of Culture Role for Leeds Arts University

    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Major Capital of Culture role for Leeds Arts University Leeds Arts University has a major role to play in helping secure European Capital of Culture status in 2023, according to the city’s Lord Mayor. Coun Jane Dowson praised the range of facilities and courses available at the University during a recent tour of the Blenheim Walk campus in the city centre. The Lord Mayor of Leeds met the University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Simone Wonnacott, along with students working in their studios. “The facilities here are wonderful, and the students are getting such a superb breadth of experience,” said Coun Dowson. “There are so many areas here to study, such as fine art, fashion, illustration, animation, printed textiles and music. “It’s so important to have facilities like these in our city because art has such a huge part to play in the bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2023. “The bid shows how ambitious we are to make Leeds an even more inspiring place to live, study and work.” Coun Dowson’s visit was arranged to celebrate the university – formally Leeds College of Art - being granted full university status by the Privy Council last August. Leeds Arts University is now the only specialist arts university in the North of England. Leeds Arts University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Simone Wonnacott, said: “It has been a pleasure to show the Lord Mayor around the award-winning facilities we’re are able to offer our students as a specialist arts university. “Coun Dowson was particularly interested in the wide range of courses we offer, and the fact that students travel from across the globe to study here.
