Continued inaction & backtracking from @scotgov means that Scotland’s cultural landscape is at risk of collapse.

It's repeatedly promised to address arts underfunding, pledging “at least £100M more annually” by 2028-9: just 0.17% of current budget.

What a week - As well as being part of the original YMI team at CS, I have benefited from being a tutor & project coordinator through projects funded by YMI. I’ve supported orgs to apply. This has massive impact on the sector & our young people.

The stated Scot Gov funding shortfall for Creative Scotland's Open Fund (closing end of Aug) is £3m

That's 0.005% of the SG budget. Five ONE-THOUSANDTHS of One Percent.

Closing the Open Fund will devastate artists and *instantly* increase inequality in the arts.

Sort it out.

@revoltshesaid Just been messaging folk who like us work as freelancers supporting the work - some horrible/ difficult coming for people.

[Jennifer McGlone @jenmcglone]

@HeatherParryUK @scotgov I 100% agree with you - CS isn't perfect but it is full of really passionate creative people who are trying their best with a government who won't listen or support the work. It is a shambles for all of us in the culture sector.
