This report showcases practical actions governments can take, beyond direct cultural funding, to support cultural access and strengthen creative industries. These ‘pro-culture’ enablers make it easier for creators to work, creative businesses to operate, and consumers to access experiences and products. They are uniquely available to governments and in some cases may be cheaper, easier and more effective than direct funding.
