\u201cDawn brings more than just a wide range of experience across broadcasting, theatre and the wider arts \u2013 she brings a passion for what the arts can do for this country and all the people in it,\u201d said Nandy. <\/p>\n
Airey added: \u201cThe importance of the Arts Council in championing art and culture has never been more needed because the sector has never been more vital to our nation. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn a world where Al, technology and automation are increasingly dominant, human connection, experience, imagination and creativity are the things that bring us together. They are the quintessential elements of a creative life and of a life well lived.\u201d<\/p>\n
