Arts Cuts in the UK

by Esfand Khoram

The Economist has an interesting article about how the state funds and subsidies in the UK have been helping different clusters of artistic activities in the past and how the new cuts will affect these activities. Read the article here, or listen to the podcast here.

The artist community is not silent about the cuts, for instance a very interesting website was launched recently with the aim of of recording all the organizations, initiatives, projects, commissions, tours and more that will be lost due to cuts in public spending on the arts.
