The society we now live in, in Britain, is arguably the most exciting there has ever been. The experience that it encompasses could produce the greatest art yet created. This will have an impact around the world. We could be on the verge of another Renaissance.

We need, though, to do all in our power to facilitate this. The driver must be not the achievement of simplistic targets, but an appreciation of the profound value of art and culture. Just as the new society we live in has immense potential for the creation of art, so art has never before been so needed to understand the deep complexities of Britain today. — Sir Brian McMaster, 2008
