Frayling and Davey Speak Sir Christopher Frayling, outgoing chair of Arts Council England, and Alan Davey, the incoming chief executive, have spoken about the new funding programme announced today. "This is a radical plan – as the controversy of recent weeks has shown," said Frayling, "but one I firmly believe will help to make the arts in England even stronger. "The plan backs excellence, brings in a new generation of practitioners and redistributes resources across the arts sector. "It has been a complex and challenging process which has involved, throughout, working closely with arts organisations and listening to their concerns. "What has emerged from this is an ambitious vision that will build on the successes of the last ten years." Alan Davey said, "This has been the most far-reaching review of public funding of the arts in the history of the Arts Council and the first we have conducted as a single national organisation. "It creates a real climate for excellence and innovation in the arts and I am excited by the prospect of working with the arts sector to make this vision a reality."
