Abstract
On the occasion of the launch of Arts Council England’s (ACE) new strategy for 2020–2030, titled “Let’s Create”, this article is a reading of the strategy as it relates to local authority museums. It is supported by a survey of existing research covering the topic of austerity and the publicly subsidised cultural sector. Its aim is to connect the dots between the vision set out in the strategy and the realities facing people running and managing museums within local government structures or those that have been transferred to one of the range of models that depart from this approach. While the comprehensive literature review conducted for this article found that there has been little work to date on this topic, there are a number of scholars whose work allows for a critical reading of the strategy in a way that prompts reflection on its aspirations. An ancillary aim of the article is to draw attention to the work of doctoral researchers and early-career researchers on these topics, much of which goes unrecognised as it remains dormant in theses due to the increasing difficulty of obtaining the job security necessary to publish from this research.
