The objects for which the Arts Council of Great Britai n is established are :

1 To develop and improve the knowledge , understanding and practice of the arts ;

2 To increase the accessibility of the arts to the publi c throughout Great Britain ; and

3 To co-operate with government departments, local authorities and other bodies to achieve these objects . Chairman's Introduction

The year under review herein is somethin g of a watershed in the Council's affairs. The reorganisation, described in more detail b y the Secretary-General, represents a n overdue exercise in streamlining and i n gearing the Arts Council to meet th e challenge of the 'SOs. I should like to express my personal gratitude to Lord Hutchinson and his Working Party for the time and effort they devoted to analysing the Council's problems and for their constructiv e recommendations which the Council has been able to consider in depth and for the most part to adopt .

The changes, now largely implemented, should enable our panels an d committees to concentrate more on issues of policy and less on detaile d considerations of finance . These will become, in practice as they have always been in theory, the responsibility of senior officers answerable to and working within the policies of the Council . Actual decisions, financial and other, remain of course the responsibility of the Counci l itself advised by its panels and senior officials .

The changes will place some added responsibility on the shoulders o f directors and senior staff without, 1 would hope, increasing thei r workload. The directors, who are far from being'faceless bureaucrats ' and anything but dictatorial in their dealings, constitute the Council's main link with the practitioners of the arts and enjoy, I believe, thei r confidence and trust . Each not only possesses great knowledge and experience of a particular art form, be it music, drama, literature, danc e or the visual arts, but must also carry the administrative responsibilitie s that fall to the head of a department . This dual role is not easy to sustain but the Council team under the direction of th e Secretary-General and his Deputy, with the help of the Financ e Director manage to sustain it with distinction . On behalf of the Counci l I should like to acknowledge the high quality and dedication of ou r officers.

At the end of 1979 Lord Hutchinson retired from th e Vice-Chairmanship of the Council to become Chairman of the Trustee s of the Tate Gallery and is succeeded by Dr Richard Hoggart . No Chairman could have been better supported by his Vice-Chairman tha n I have been by Lord Hutchinson and I am most grateful for hi s unstinting help, his wise counsel and his friendship in the last three years. He will be greatly missed and we all wish him every success a t the Tate Gallery . Secretary-General's Report Progress and Renewa l

Secretarv-General's Report

The prime way in which people learn to acquire th e taste for the best in the arts is through family influence and education coupled with frequen t opportunities to sample new experiences in the arts . The trouble is that for many, both the family and th e education system give too little experience of th e arts, and at worst `turn them off' rather than tur n them on . Once out of school, there is even les s incentive and encouragement for most young peopl e and adults to explore the arts . As for making the m available for people to taste and see, the Arts Council has in the past 30 years done a great deal to spread the arts across the country, but more need s to be done and that can only be done with more resources . kum

To sum up on public subsidy for the arts : the case for it is well-founded both in theory and in over 3 0 years practice . It is one of the few things on which all three political parties in this country agree, and the onus must be on any doubters to prove thei r case, especially when we spend far less per head of population on arts subsidy than most of ou r European neighbours . Doubts expressed by the culturally, educationally and socially privileged are not likely to carry much weight . They can look afte r themselves, though even they have not reckoned with the fact that without substantial public subsidy there would be no Royal Opera House, no Nationa l Theatre for them to go to, and that their favourit e orchestra would also probably disappear . The rest of the population (at least 90 per cent of it) needs th e 'arts service', if I may call it that, as much as it need s the education and health services . Indeed, the arts are an indispensable part of the core of the educatio n curriculum and make no mean contribution to the imaginative vitality and critical vigour of th e community .

Business Sponsorshi p Whilst emphasising its commitment to public subsidy, the Government emphasises the need to develop private patronage, by business firms an d individuals . It seems clear from the Conservative Paper, however, that this will be a bonus to be adde d to public subsidy, rather than a substitute for it .

Factors affecting INCOM E assessments of subsidy

The diagrams illustrate how widely the main items REGIONA L contained in a Company's income and expenditure DRAM A can vary. These variations greatly complicate the COMPAN Y Council's task in assessing both the individual an d relative needs of its clients .

One of the main factors affecting earned income i s the incidence of touring: thus while a dram a company resident in a theatre benefits from bar an d programme profits, a touring company has to share the box-office income with the venue and rarel y benefits from any local authority subsidy .

Similarly, expenditure headings can show marke d variations : for example, orchestral players' salaries REGIONAL, represent a much greater percentage of the total SYMPHON Y costs of an orchestra than do performing artists' ORCHESTR A salaries for drama and opera companies-. residen t drama companies responsible for the costs of thei r own buildings incur a much higher proportion o f expenditure on administration than tourin g orchestras, opera and drama companies, wher e subsistence and very variable costs of transport further distort the figures .

Other categories of client (such as dance companies, arts centres, festivals and art galleries) have pattern s of income and expenditure which are quite different TOURIN G again from those selected for illustration. DRAM A COMPANY

Notes to the Accounts

I ACCOUNTING POLICIE S

The Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a basis which takes account of th e Statements of Standard Accounting Practice drawn up by the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies, so fa r as these are appropriate to the Council.

a Grants and guarantee s Grants and guarantees are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account in the year for which they are undertake n as a commitment by the Council on the basis of a formal offer to and acceptance by the Council's clients . Any amounts unpaid from these commitments are shown as liabilities on the Balance Sheet and any advance payments to clients in anticipation of the grants and guarantees to be offered for the following financial year are shown in the Balance Sheet as assets . b Fixed asset s Expenditure on fixed assets is charged as an appropriation from the Income and Expenditure Account to th e Council's capital account. The book value of any assets sold or written off is eliminated from the Balance Sheet by a reduction in capital account . Any proceeds of sale are credited to income. Fixed assets are not depreciated . Any expenditure on renewals is charged against income . All works of art are included under fixed assets and form an integral part of the Council 's exhibition programme . c Stock s Stocks are stated at cost on a unit cost basis, or at net realisable value if lower . d Exhibition s Expenditure incurred on an exhibition promoted by the Council is charged to the year in which that exhibition i s officially opened to the public . Expenditure incurred in a year prior to that opening is treated as a prepayment . e Consolidatio n The Arts Council of Great Britain is legally responsible for the affairs of the Scottish Arts Council and the Welsh Art s Council, which are by constitution committees of the Council . However in view of the powers delegated to thos e committees they present separate accounts which are not consolidated with those of the Arts Council .

Notes to the Accounts

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIE S

The Accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and on a basis which takes account of th e Statements of Standard Accounting Practice drawn up by the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies, so fa r as these are appropriate to the Council. a Grants and guarantee s Grants and guarantees are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account in the year for which they are undertake n as a commitment by the Council on the basis of a formal offer to and acceptance by the Council's clients . Any amounts unpaid from these commitments are shown as liabilities on the Balance Sheet and any advance payments t o clients in anticipation of the grants and guarantees to be offered for the following financial year are shown in th e Balance Sheet as assets. b Fixed assets Expenditure on fixed assets is charged as an appropriation from the Income and Expenditure Account to th e Council's Capital Account . The book value of any assets sold or written off is eliminated from the Balance Sheet by a reduction in capital account. Any proceeds of sale are credited to income . Fixed assets are not depreciated . Any expenditure on renewals is charged against income . All works of art are included under fixed assets and form an integral part of the Council's exhibition programme . c Stocks Stocks are stated at cost on a unit cost basis, or at net realisable value if lower . d Exhibitions Expenditure incurred on an exhibition promoted by the Council is charged to the year in which that exhibition i s officially opened to the public. Expenditure incurred in a year prior to that opening is treated as a prepayment . e Consolidatio n The Arts Council of Great Britain is legally responsible for the affairs of the Scottish Arts Council and the Welsh Art s Council, which are by constitution committees of the Council. However in view of the powers delegated to thos e committees they present separate accounts which are not consolidated with those of the Arts Council . 2 GENERAL EXPENDITURE ON THE ART S 1979 1980 Music £ 1,052,992 Grants and guarantees £ 1,262,84 5 76 7 Schemes Expenses 858 105,28 1 Concert Programm e 89,183 Young Welsh Singers Competitio n 2,310 22,336 Recordings of Welsh musi c . 4,197
