Christopher Frayling New Arts Council Chairman |
|
|
|
LONDON, ENGLAND.- Commenting on the announcement today that Sir Christopher Frayling has been appointed as the new Chairman of Arts Council England, Gerry Robinson, the outgoing Chairman said:
’Christopher’s appointment is marvellous news for the arts and for the Arts Council. He’ll make an outstanding Chairman. His commitment to the arts and culture is second to none. With his wealth of experience at the Royal College of Art and the Design Council - and as a former member of the Arts Council - Christopher is the perfect choice for the Arts Council.
’My time as Chairman of the Arts Council has been one of the most rewarding periods of my life. I feel genuinely that with Christopher Frayling taking over from me, supported by an excellent Chief Executive in Peter Hewitt, the Arts Council is in good hands.’
Gerry Robinson will step down as Chairman of Arts Council England in January 2004. He was appointed to the post in May 1998. During his Chairmanship, Treasury funding for the arts has increased from £189.6 million (1998/99) to £412 million by the end of the current spending round period (2005/06). In addition, the arts were given a second seven year period as a National Lottery good cause. He led the merger of the old Arts Council of England with the 10 separate regional arts boards to create a single funding and development body for the arts.
Gerry Robinson is currently a Non-Executive Director of Granada and Chairman of Allied Domecq. The second series of Gerry’s business advice programme, I’ll Show Them Who’s Boss, will be broadcast on BBC2 next year.
