Dawn Airey, a veteran of the media and creative industries with over three decades of experience, is set to take the helm as the new chair of Arts Council England. She will succeed Sir Nicholas Serota, whose almost decade-long tenure concludes at the end of July.
Ms Airey’s four-year term will commence on 1 August, following an announcement by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy. Ms Nandy expressed her delight at the appointment, stating she was "thrilled" to welcome Ms Airey.
