News – Frayling to stay

Arts Council England Chair, Sir Christopher Frayling, who was due to leave in February next year, has had his appointment extended until February 2009 in order to avoid a situation where he would leave the organisation at the same time as Chief Executive, Peter Hewitt.
Interviews are currently being held to find a successor for Hewitt. An appointment is expected this autumn, with the new Chief Executive taking on the role in April of next year.
