Dateline: 30th April, 2008
British Council Arts Director Leaves Venu Dhupa, director of arts at the British Council, has left the organisation after less than a year in post. No reason has been given for her departure and a spokesman said that the Council will work with her on specific projects in future. She had, he told The Stage, "made a valuable contribution to the British Council’s thinking around the future of our global arts strategy." Her proposals about the structure of the arts department of the British Council, which we outlined in a news story on 20th December last and included getting rid of its departments of film, drama, dance, literature, design, and the visual arts and instead organise its cultural staff into panels with the titles Progressive Facilitation, Market Intelligence Network, Knowledge Transfer Function and Modern Pioneer, brought a furious reaction from artists, 100 of whom wrote a letter to the Guardian condemning the move. As a result of the protest the Council suspended the reorganisation and launched a consultation period which ends this week.
