The economic benefits that our arts sector amplified through public funding… in black and white! More funding creates more economic benefit, but that doesn’t even factor in the huge social, educational and creative benefits https://t.co/ZHKUu2EaO2
£85m to support arts & cultural organisations across England.
Barnet Consequential would be £2m+ if allocated here from our block grant. There is so much pressure on budgets to maintain premises and spaces locally. @CommunitiesNI@ArtsCouncilNI

Arts Professional thinks that mergers and professionalising are novel.
Arts orgs have carried out & proposed more options than these and yet our government presides over an arts portfolio without a one letter of offer or a penny of core funding in place.

The government spending review is giving England’s Arts Council pause for thought, even after promised investment. Locally, the sector hasn’t heard how the 25/26 budget is looking here, never mind longer term. https://t.co/fS7ZLyeziv
This report, echoing the ACNI report of last year on artists’ livelihoods, paints a picture of precarity and despair for this sector.
Plus, the daily threat from AI that continues to undermine intellectual property. Artists must be better protected.

£10m of that to the arts sector would considerably narrow gap on funding compared to Wales (& stabilise struggling sector). Even doubling funding won’t bridge gap.
To match RoI, extra £30m + for this year alone would have to be allocated.

This new Labour government should ‘invest big’ in arts and culture projects, says respected economist.
But as a devolved matter, would it make any difference locally in NI where the funding is down to the minister’s prerogative and little else. https://t.co/goB8TAL8YC
