Impact Investing in the Cultural and Creative Sectors

This report identifies a burgeoning movement of investing for impact in the cultural and creative sectors globally, emerging at the precise moment that the sector urgently needs to examine new funding models.

Impact Investing in the Cultural and Creative Sectors: Insights from an emerging field was commissioned by the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (Creative PEC), funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and produced as a collaboration between Fran Sanderson and Seva Phillips in the UK, from Arts & Culture Finance by Nesta (now Figurative), and David Maggs in Canada, who is Metcalf Foundation’s Fellow on Arts and Society. It is essential reading for cultural and creative sector practitioners and entrepreneurs, public and private funders and investors in these sectors, and policymakers looking to stimulate new funding paradigms for the cultural and creative sector.
