Arts Council Advocacy	At the end of 2006, NASA and ISAN jointly wrote a letter and met with Peter Hewitt, Director of ACE, outlining the case for increased investment in our sector as a whole. As part of this, a list of priorities for investment was drawn up following discussions within both organisations. These are as follows: Innovation and ambition in street arts projects. Increasing the number of properly funded companies and organisations creating work. Strengthening the touring network (festivals) to provide a secure platform for such work. Establishing permanent work spaces and production resources for the development of new work. Creating opportunities for professional development, particularly artist-led initiatives and those supporting emerging artists. Initiatives developing and promoting street arts work led by culturally diverse artists and by deaf and disabled artists. Initiatives aimed at making street arts events more accessible to disabled audiences. Support for key organisations and events which promote the development of the sector on a national and international level.
