“We need to make the argument for the arts even when a council is bankrupt. It is not just nice to have them. They are the answer to many problems.”

Tony Hall has joined Simon Rattle & @Schtanhaus in a plea to maintain tax reliefs & funding for the arts.

On 9th Feb, we wrote to Arts Council England (ACE) to share the concerns of our membership following the quiet introduction of new guidelines around reputational risk for National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs). We have requested a response and will keep our members updated.

Enough.

We reiterate our call for a #Ceasefirenow .

All trade unionists and their unions are welcome to our bloc at the national demonstration this Saturday in Glasgow:

📅17/02
⏲️1pm
📍George Square, Walter Scott monument.

Stop the genocide. Stand up and be counted.

We share concern about changes to Arts Council England’s policies for regularly-funded organisations – new cautions about activity that is
- done by individuals 'in a personal capacity'
- 'overtly political or activist'
- 'likely to be in breach of your funding agreement'
