Alan Davey has been announced as the new Chief Executive of Arts Council England. He is currently Director of Culture at the DCMS and was previously responsible for designing the National Lottery. He will succeed Peter Hewitt and take up his appointment in early 2008.
He commented, I couldnt be more excited about my new role. The Arts in England have never been healthier, more challenging, innovative or popular. I want the Arts Council to be at the forefront of building on that success working with artists to reach even greater heights, leading the arts with passion and excellence, and forging new partnerships that secure the position of the arts in national life.
