Baroness Hodge of Barking has been appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to conduct an independent review of the Arts Council England (ACE). She will be supported by an Advisory Panel featuring experts from across the creative sectors.

The Arts Council England review is an opportunity to examine how to bring cultural excellence to every corner of the country while amplifying local voices in decision-making. It will consider how Arts Council England nurtures creativity at all levels - from community arts to international masterpieces - and explore ways to enhance this through stronger dynamic partnerships between national and regional stakeholders. At its heart, this review asks how we can ensure this country has a vibrant, accessible arts ecosystem that truly serves all communities and delivers world-class culture at every level.

Arts Council England is an essential part of this country鈥檚 cultural eco-system, and this review is an opportunity to ensure Arts Council England is best positioned to successfully steward our cultural and creative sectors in every part of England.

Baroness Hodge will provide the government with a comprehensive report of her findings, alongside recommendations for change in the Autumn of 2025. The government will publish the conclusions of the review along with the government鈥檚 response in 2026.
