To support new talent, the channel will launch a series of bursaries worth £30,000 each, that will see leading figures from the arts support and mentor emerging new artists. It comes at a time when the creative industries, which contribute nearly £112 billion to the UK economy, are struggling during the coronavirus pandemic and need to be put in the spotlight more than ever. The result is the only space on terrestrial TV dedicated solely to arts and culture, making it more accessible to everyone and helping to foster empathy, engagement and diversity in society. That’s why this September, we are making Sky Arts free for everyone to watch,” said Philip Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts, earlier this year. “We believe that everyone should have access to the arts and that the more people you encourage to participate, the better the world becomes.
Sky Arts has officially gone free to air, bringing its mix of arts and culture programming to the nation at no cost.
