Industry leaders pass ‘vote of no confidence’ in Arts Council England

Arts Council England has been delivered a ‘vote of no confidence’ at an emergency meeting organised by trade union Equity and attended by leading figures from the UK theatre industry including Ian McKellen, Peter Hall and Kevin Spacey. The meeting, which was held at the Young Vic and attended by ACE chief executive Peter Hewitt, was called in the wake of the arts council’s latest spending review, in which almost 200 organisations face the threat of total cuts to their funding.
