@JANUSZCZAK I'm curious that they have hit on 40% as the ideal, in my time in museums it was supposed to be kept at 50% +/- 2%.

[Colin Simpson @ColinSimpsons]

@eleanorguitar Definitely, a really interesting programme. Hope it goes well.

@DavidBertram1 @richardosman I used to pray that the bus had to stop going into town so I could watch the bottles.

Please retweet if you want Labour, LibDems and Greens to cooperate at the next election in order to oust the Tories and introduce PR so that we never again have to endure a Tory Government with an eighty seat majority, secured with only 43% of the popular vote.

@emmarodgersart Congratulations to Lotte, fantastic news.

[Colin Simpson @ColinSimpsons]

If you are in Wirral and feel the need for a little artistic lift, however, the Williamson will be open 10.30-5.00, including a new exhibition on Birkenhead's historic Argyle Theatre @WilliamsonArt_

The axing of BBC4 means there is precisely one TV channel left in the entire UK broadcasting spectrum focused on the arts - Sky Arts. ONE CHANNEL! No single sector of TV is as threatened as the arts. So much for the fantasy of 'choice' and 'diversity'. It's a national disgrace.

People who think culture is an add-on, a nice-if-you-can-afford it (and run it down and defund it accordingly), remember that @SamRyderMusic did more for the UK’s reputation tonight than government ministers have managed in years.

A huge thank you to all our wonderful artists who entered the Williamson Open 2022. We’re thrilled to be joined by this years prize-winners for our closing event. Congratulations and thank you again to all who entered. We’ve had the most amazing feedback!

Same time next year!

#channel4 is the nursery from which many massively lucrative cultural exports grew. Selling it off is like flogging the goose that laid the golden eggs to KFC and thinking you’re clever coz they gave you a tenner

@ERob_HistArtJMU @LivUniPress @CPMHLiv @LJMU @LivUni @NML_Muse @JamesJFortuna @LJMUResearch @LJMUarts @LJMUImpact I'll admit to being intrigued, especially by the last essay. Will have to look it out, congratulations Emma.

@emmarodgersart Sorry not to be with you, but will be thinking of you. x

@ally_saves @abscraft @MarshallColman I'm sure I wrote a short article on this book in the Society of Decorative Arts Curators' newsletter, about 20 years ago, but I can't find my copy. She is an interesting character.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

Just superb.

If only your party had been in power for the last 11 years and been able to do something huh.

[Lady Lever Art Gallery @LeverArtGallery]

What are your favourite winter paintings? We're reflecting on the wonderfully wintry scene, The Shortening Winter's Day is Near a Close (circa 1903) by Joseph Farquharson @LeverArtGallery. Did you know the shepherd is actually an employee of Farquharson, who was asked to pose?

[Emma Rodgers @emmarodgersart]

Last year our #FairyAppeal raised a massive💫£26,000💫 for patients & research @CCCNHS. Will you give your support in #2021 ?
