## Resource

Ruth Mackenzie, former Adelaide Festival director, is now the UK’s Arts Minister — a major coup for the cultural sector. Appointed to the House of Lords as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, she brings global experience from London 2012, Manchester, Paris, and beyond. Though she stepped down from Adelaide abruptly in August 2024 — leaving behind record attendance but falling ticket sales — her leadership is now seen as a boost for UK arts under the new PM. Arts insiders hail her as an “arts heroine,” confident her international savvy will elevate Britain’s cultural landscape.
