Press & news

Introduction

Our virtual press office is designed for journalists to find press releases and contacts, answer questions and find background information.

The events section contains information about Arts Council events for artists and arts organisations.

You can read the online version of newsletters from each of the Arts Council’s nine regions and information about our latest projects.

For information about current vacancies and opportunities in the arts community, you can subscribe to our Arts Jobs mailing list. For information about events and projects, you can subscribe to our Arts News mailing list. Both mailing lists are generated entirely by Arts Jobs and Arts News members.
