Regional Renaissance

From the 30th June 2011, the regional Renaissance Hub structure ceases to exist. 2011-12 is a transitional year for the Renaissance programme in which £37.6 million of grant funding, previously known as Hub funding, has been made available to 45 museum services.

As part of the transfer of functions from MLA to Arts Council England, ACE will announce its long term plans for Renaissance in autumn 2011, in time for the 2012-13 budget making process. Applications for Renaissance funding for 2012-15 will then be invited and funding decisions will be announced in preparation for the new financial year.

Responsibilities transfer

From 1st October 2011, this site will not be updated, so please treat it as the static archive it is. This is because <a target="_Blank" href="http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/">Arts Council England</a> has now taken over museums and libraries responsibilities. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/">The National Archives</a> has assumed responsibility for strategic leadership of the Archives sector. Arts Council responsibilities will also now include the Renaissance programme, Museum Accreditation, and Library Development, together with cultural property services such as Export Licensing and the Acceptance in Lieu scheme. The National Archives has assumed responsibility for providing strategic leadership to the archives sector and advising government on its development. The MLA is now winding down, with a skeleton staff remaining until May 2012 to complete the management of existing Renaissance contracts, complete outstanding financial and contractual arrangements and prepare for the appointment of a liquidator. This website will remain live until 31st March so that the public still has full access to the material on it – good practice case studies, toolkits, guidance and a range of other publications.
