Gurvinder Sandher MBE DL, Artistic Director of Cohesion Plus & OAUK Board Member, is one of 14 arts and culture experts from across England who will be assessing how Arts Council England is delivering in its mission to support high-quality arts and culture.
The Government is to carry out a public body review of Arts Council England to ensure it is delivering in its mission to support high-quality arts and culture across the country.
The review is part of the Cabinet Office’s cross-government public body reviews programme – a standard process routinely carried out on all publicly-funded organisations. This will be the first such review of Arts Council England since 2017.
Dame Mary Archer, the former chairman of the Science Museum Group, is to lead the review, aided by an advisory panel featuring experts from across the arts and cultural sectors, supported by civil servants.
Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer said:
In theatre, music, painting, sculpture and many more artforms, the UK is a world leader, with creativity sitting at the core of our identity as a country.
This review will help ensure that Arts Council England is driving creative excellence in the arts by funding ambitious projects of the highest quality.
