Creative Economies, a national seminar exploring the role the arts can play in economic development and the regeneration of communities will be taking place in London on Wednesday 20 June.

The seminar is a partnership event between Arts Council England and Arts Development UK. The event will be hosted by the London Borough of Camden at The Camden Centre.

The seminar will explore:

• the role of arts and culture as economic anchors and drivers in cultural regeneration
• how the wider business sector values and uses the role of arts and culture
• practical ways of measuring and capturing the economic value of the arts and culture

These three integrated themes are designed to provide topical examples and case studies, suggest ways of understanding and communicating directly with the business sector about the economic importance of arts and culture, suggest tools to provide evidence of impact and value.

The programme will feature a range of speakers, including some from Arts Council England:

• Paul Bristow, Acting Director of Strategic Partnerships
• Mary-Alice Stack, Director of ArtCo projects
• Andrea Stark, Executive Director, East and South East
