Message From Public Campaign for the Arts

Last night, stories from the Public Campaign for the Arts were broadcast on BBC One. Videos recorded in support of our campaign were seen by millions in imagine... We'll Be Back?, a special programme charting the struggle to save the arts from the impacts of Covid-19

By joining together and sharing our experiences, we are making a real impact. We are showing how much art and culture matters to people across this country, and our message is being heard loud and clear.

Every person and every story makes our case stronger, and it's not too late to add your voice. Will you take 1 minute to share why the arts matter to you? You can use your phone or computer to send video, audio or text right now.

Tell your story now → 

Hundreds of our arts buildings are still closed, 55,000 arts jobs have been lost since March (a decline of 30%) and too many people have fallen through the cracks of government support. It’s vital that we keep growing our campaign for the arts.      Will you invite your friends and family to join us too?

Share the Campaign → 


Everything we do is funded by grassroots donations from supporters like you. If you can affordto make a donation now, you will be helping us reach a wider audience, connect policy makersto our work and support the construction of a people-powered manifesto for the arts

Peterborough Cathedral: Its History and Imagery - Online Talk

 

Peterborough Cathedral: Its History and
Imagery

Mon 15 Feb 2021 8:00 PM - 9:00 PM GMT

 

Online, Zoom

Ticket Link

DESCRIPTION

Peterborough Cathedral began life as an abbey church in the seventh century.                 This talk explains the development of the great building, and concentrates on                    the painted ceiling created from 1238, which has proven difficult to decipher.                      The speaker's recent monograph on the cathedral for the first time identifies                      the characters depicted on the ceiling and explores the background to its                   creation, heralding its status as the greatest political billboard of the English                 middle ages, and throwing new light on the aftermath of Magna Carta.
