Arts Council Funding Announcement
Wednesday 30 March 2011
This morning, the Arts Council England announced details of Arts organisations funding for the next three years. Below is our response to this morning's decision.
The Arts Council, today described the Almeida Theatre as “an exemplary organisation, internationally synonymous with bold play choices staged to the highest possible standards with outstanding production values”. The Almeida’s work is delivered to over 90,000 people each year alongside over 10,000 young people who take part in our Education programme. Whilst the Arts Council cut to our funding equates to 20% in cash terms over 4 years or less than 10% of turnover, there will be no cuts to our innovative artistic policy or to our ambitions. In the coming years we will take our work to more people than ever before and continue to be a leading national cultural institution.
Michael Attenborough - Artistic Director
James Bierman - Executive Director
