State of the Arts: A new start?

•I am told the new chief executive of Creative Scotland will have a salary reduced around 10% from departed chief executive Andrew Dixon's renumeration of £120,000.

The post will be advertised soon, perhaps next week.

•This week Creative Scotland has introduced its 'Action Plan for Change', and much of the contents we have heard or read about before (which is not to say they aren't - at least - a welcome change in tone from 2012). The artist bursaries, perhaps coming with some shades of the Irish Aosdana system, look interesting as does the newly proposed Annual Conference, which has all sorts of potential (of various kinds).
