Darren Henley writes: 'At Arts Council England, we’ve invested £23 million in Sheffield’s cultural life over the past five years. And when you widen our investment out to the whole of Yorkshire, that number jumps to £260 million... We want the arts to be a part of everyday life, so that no matter who you are or where you live, you too can celebrate the arts and culture on your doorstep.'
