Arts Council England has replaced its ten-year “Let’s Create” strategy with a pared-back framework of three principles, following an independent review led by Margaret Hodge. The change arrives alongside a new chair, Dawn Airey, and continued oversight of roughly £467 million in annual funding.

Ina Sarikhani Weston’s appointment as Chair of the National Portrait Gallery highlights the growing importance of philanthropy, private collecting and trustee networks in the governance of Britain’s national museums. Her tenure is expected to emphasise continuity, collaboration and institutional stability as the Gallery navigates a challenging arts-funding environment.
