New Name, New Logo, Less Staff – Arts Council England Relaunches

The Arts Council of England has relaunched itself as Arts Council England, with a new logo and 100 fewer staff. Now there will be just the Arts Council, with regional offices, one telephone number and one application form for artists, replacing more than 100 different grants schemes.” The council says the changes would “save almost £20m over the next three years, and £8m a year after that, all to be ploughed back into the arts.”
