A £200 million national film centre. A permanent home for fashion shows in London. Funding for avant-garde film projects. A Davos-style arts and finance conference. These are among a range of commitments to the arts being set out by the Government next week.

A list of more than 20 schemes, intended to turn Britain into the “world’s creative hub”, have been drawn up by ministers and will be unveiled in a Green Paper next week.

Plans for the global arts conference, the “world creative economy forum” — which will be set up in co-ordination with the West Coast of America — are to be outlined next week as part of a determined push to edge other European capitals to one side.

The Government is keen to demonstrate support for Britain’s creative talent, highlighting work from fashion to film and cartoons to computer games. This comes weeks after the Arts Council announced big cuts in grants to dozens of theatres and other cultural bodies, in a move described as a “strategic catastrophe”.

The Prime Minister’s effort to surround himself with British creative talent threatens to revive memories of Tony Blair’s “Cool Britannia” initiatives early in his own tenure at No 10.

The draft of a Green Paper on the creative industries in England and Wales, to be produced by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and seen by The Times, reveal the plans, include promoting conservatoires for art and design, a creative festivals season, the new film centre on the South Bank and a permanent home for London Fashion Week.

The draft paper says that the Government should “aspire to the scale of the Davos World Economic Forum to make Britain the world’s creative hub”.

It hints at greater intervention in the fashion industry, suggesting a study that would look at its repercussions for matters such as health.

It also offers a stark warning that under Gordon Brown the arts industry must be accessible — which may concern some in the artistic community. “As part of their comprehensive spending review the subsidised arts will need to transform their workforce where it is not currently diverse.”

Under plans to be announced by Mr Brown and Andy Burnham, the Culture Secretary, children will have the right to spend five hours a week on activities such as visiting galleries and museums, attending theatre performances and learning a musical instrument.

The right to “five hours of culture a week” will become the responsibility of a new Youth Culture Trust, with a £10 million trial in ten areas of England and Wales, beginning this year, and will focus on those from disadvantaged background and children who display a particular talent.

This will be announced together with creative apprenticeships for 1,000 people which will be managed by a new skills academy for the creative and cultural industries.

The Children’s Department will explore the possibility of an academy for the creative industries aimed at those aged between 14 and 25. The “14 to 25 academy” would bring the University of Arts London — which consists of six colleges including St Martin’s College of Art and Design and the Chelsea College of Art — together with a number of secondary schools and further education colleges. It would develop and teach foundation degrees and specialist courses, help gifted pupils and those with special needs and develop mentoring schemes while working closely with the business community.

On music, the Government recognises that important venues are under threat. These include the Hammersmith Palais — closed last year to be redeveloped as an office complex — and the Astoria — under threat from Crossrail. “They are crucial in the development of talent and infrastructure of the live music circuit. They are culturally, socially and economically crucial.” The Government will discuss with the Mayor of London how these venues can be preserved.

The Government wants to form a “high fashion production hub”, with the London College of Fashion, British Fashion Council, Skillset and others in order to develop marketing skills, sampling and production support. The Culture Department will create a network of fashion libraries and archives by bringing together material held across the country.

“There will be a study on ways to produce a coherent response to challenges \ such as globalisation, health and technological development,” it says.

In film, six theatres and technology centres will be “retooled” by the UK Film Council to “mature and develop” British industry and “act as a hub for creative businesses”. The venues are the Broadway in Nottingham, Cornerhouse in Manchester, Foundation for Art and Creative Technology in Liverpool, Sheffield Media and Exhibition Centre, Tyneside Cinema and Watershed in Bristol.

The Government will also take action on copyright protection, with a “hit squad” of mobile enforcement teams to crack down on fakes.

A new fund, known as the commercial fund and run by the Business Department, will be offered specifically to the creative industries which invest a mix of private and public money in high growth areas.

Ed Vaizey, the Conservative arts frontbencher, said: “This reads more like a Stalinist Five-Year Plan than a vision for creative industries in the years ahead. What makes it so depressing is that we have waited more than a year for this paper and it’s little more than a series of reheated policies or absurd micromanagement.”

Mark Borkowski, who works in public relations for arts and media organisations, said: "I find it extraordinary that they are looking for a gimmick after the Arts Council caused all that consternation. The whole creative universe is a many-headed hydra and to lump it together is not very creative — it seems very quango-esque. But it seems very interesting that he’s trying to get an initiative to win over the chattering classes in some of the most influential circles in the media.”

However, Keith Tyson, the Turner Prize winner, said: “My feeling is that the Government has not, until now, done a lot about culture — but these plans sound positive. Culture is often not taken seriously, the Government often preferring to concentrate on wealth creation. I would like to see the Government making tax legislation to ensure museums and galleries can acquire works more easily, so that everyone can enjoy them.”
