Restructure for Arts Council England
Arts Council England will cut 33 staff in a large scale restructure of its national office. The new structure – designed to save approximately £1.8million – will see the office divided into four new teams: Arts Strategy, Arts Planning and Investment, Advocacy and Communications, and Resources. “This is an exciting and challenging time for the Arts Council and for the arts more generally,†said Peter Hewitt, the Arts Council Chief Executive. “The artistic life of the country is changing in ways that could not have been imagined a decade ago. The Arts Council has to change itself to support these exciting new developments and address the new challenges we all face.†“The 2002 merger of the Arts Council of England with the regional arts boards that saw the creation of a new regionally devolved Arts Council has posed important questions about the nature of our national office and the strategic role it needs to play. This new structure will address those questions.†“A number of people - at all levels and right across the national office - will be moving on and new people will join us. Those that will leave do so with our heartfelt thanks for their contribution, energy and dedication in making the Arts Council the organisation it is and with our very best wishes for the future.†For more information, CLICK HERE
