The Arts Council is seeking 150 advisors in a wide number of artforms,  to make visits to funded centres and report on progress.  Advisors would receive a payment of 1000 pounds for their work.  Advisors must be free of connections to funded bodies or venues.

The move comes after Equity passed a vote of No Confidence in the Arts Council,  when hundreds of organisations receiving funding were cut-off with no warning and explanations that verged on the fatuous.  A notorious example was the Northcott Theatre in Exeter.  The Arts Council paid for the theatre to be entirely renovated and re-equipped... a rebuilding exercise that cost millions and took three years. But then when the work was finished and the re-opening announced... the Arts Council said that the theatre was being closed because it was not needed. The entire grant for the forthcoming season was cut, and the theatre did not reopen.  All the money spent on the rebuilding had been utterly wasted.
