Plan for “what if” instead of “why me.” The fire. The flood. The storm. The broken pipes. The break-in. The disaster. The unforeseen happens too often. The unexpected, once-in-a-lifetime, won’t-happen-to-me, I-don’t-want-to-talk-about-it-possibility, happens. Now is the time to Be ArtsReady.
South Arts, in partnership with its nine member state arts agencies, urges the arts community to engage in continuity planning through our Be ArtsReady campaign, upcoming ArtsReady Planning Tool, and using the resources below. Being ArtsReady means preparedness, readiness and business continuity for you and your arts organization. These web-based resources and guides help take some of the mystery out of planning for the unexpected. Use these samples and guides to begin – have a plan in place so that your organization can bounce back from the unexpected quickly and well. Readiness planning means that no matter what happens today, you can do tomorrow, what you were doing yesterday.

The Exeter Cultural Partnership represents the city’s cultural organisations including libraries, museums, sport, arts, health, education, food and retail - organisations which touch the lives of thousands of people each year. ECP now has over 150 members across the city and sub region.
Our mission as a partnership is to contribute to a city where a vibrant cultural life enriches the experience of everyone living in, working in and visiting Exeter.
For the past nine months ECP has been working towards the creation of a Cultural Action Plan for Exeter. With the support of Exeter City Council and the Arts Council of England, ECP has undertaken in depth consultation with the city’s cultural sector producing key findings that have informed this Action Plan.
Importantly this Action Plan is one that is ‘co-owned’ with the City Council, ensuring that culture is embedded in the plans that will shape the city of the future. Named as one of the top five priorities in the City Council’s five year strategic plan, culture is seen as a key contributor to future prosperity and growth in Exeter.
