I understand that the Arts Council employs 46 whole-time equivalent staff across a range of grades. The following table gives a breakdown of staff employed directly on arts specialist work.
| Art forms in the performing and creative arts | · Architecture· Circus· Dance· Film· Literature· Music· Opera· Theatre· Traditional Arts· Visual Arts | 15.25 whole-time equivalent staff |
| Arts practices that are multidisciplinary and/or cross sectoral in nature | · Artists' Supports· Arts Participation· European Cultural Contact Point· Festivals, Street Arts & Spectacle· International Arts· Local Arts· Public Art· Venues· Young People Children & Education | 14.75 whole-time equivalent staff |
All other employees are cross-functional in support of the work of the Arts Council.
