Looking Back to Tomorrow charts the establishment and development of public arts institutions in
the UK since the 1960s, looking at alternatives to conventional art education, the rapid
globalisation of the art world, artist residencies and the role of philanthropy. Included are
transcripts from Camden Arts Centres fiftieth anniversary lecture series and a text by writer and
critic Sarah Kent reflecting on Britains changing cultural landscape over the past fifty years. This
reader considers how we can develop sustainable cultures of change, making programmes
accessible for everyone and showcasing challenging work, whilst fostering careers of
underrepresented and emerging artists during uncertain times for the arts. With a forward by
Jenni Lomax.
