This site was started in 1998 following the introduction of National Lottery funding for the arts to ensure that arts organisations had a ready choice of consultants with the right type of experience and skills needed, whilst trying to avoid any insufficiently qualified person who might only be attracted by the lottery money available. It was first commissioned by the English Regional Arts Boards and The Scottish Arts Council who funded it until 2003. Derek Handy (click for profile) has managed the site for them since 1998 – and from 2004 he has operated the site in his own name with an agreement from Arts Council England and The Scottish Arts Council. The site is now funded by an annual subscription from it’s members. This avoids indirectly charging anyone who does not want to use or be part of the site.< br>

The on line register is updated daily and we we produce a printed version (which has reduced detail) for arts organisations on request. This is generally updated on a monthly basis. We are constantly making sure that the site is prominently displayed - for instance when looking for Arts Consultants on the Internet search engines then our site is regularly at Number 1 in the listings.
