ACE is prioritising investment and delivery in places with historically lower investment, opportunity, or engagement, with a particular focus on England’s 81 Culture Priority Places. The DCMS list combines existing Arts Council Priority Places with additional areas identified using deprivation, community need, cultural participation, and historic funding data. Even if your organisation isn’t based in a Culture Priority Place, you can run reports in Spektrix to identify audience members, visitors, or participants who live in one.

From more flexible payment options and easier reservation purchases to expanded Digital Passes and more adaptable reporting, these updates give you more control while reducing manual work.
