Alan Davey speech

On The Guardian Theatre Blog, Lyn Gardner reports on a speech by Alan Davey, chief executive of Arts Council England, that set out some of his thinking.

...the Arts Council will be looking to create new-style funding agreements. "I want us to look at loosening the uniform three-year cycle, and examine instead a range of funding possibilities, with some bodies on longer term arrangements than now, and some on more flexible, shorter term arrangements," declared Davey.

He also introduced a new consultation on self-assessment and peer review.
