Commissioned poems, a beautiful chapel space & - of course - some stunning gowns...

Everyone at Poet in the City shares the sadness at Gboyega's passing: we'll always remember him joyfully behind the decks with his friend Tice at a recent Run the Night event. The support shown to the new foundation in his name is such a measure of love.

As if things weren't tough enough for micro-enterprises in the #creativeindustries, @Etsy decides to make life impossible for some by withholding access to funds traded via their platform for 45 days. https://t.co/hHCLFTFGNx

Music software is highly visual. However, many blind and visually impaired music producers have highly effective alternative workflows. Here more about the Bridging the Gap research project in this podcast series from @QUBelfast https://t.co/vmbTMDVJWK

[Mary-Alice Stack @Stack_says]

@RobCFTyne @ThinkinPractice But isn't this really about creating a funding system that avoids evaluating the work of organisations that are primarily focused on community engagement and participation against those that work in very different ways to achieve different artistic and social outcomes?

[Mary-Alice Stack @Stack_says]

Good plan, Nicholas Hytner. https://t.co/zXfpX5XHAK

[Mary-Alice Stack @Stack_says]

@ThinkinPractice Hmm. Well I'm not advocating for "elite art" as an investment strategy but it may well be that ACE's objectives are just too expansive and its budgets too small to serve the needs of the sector as a whole.

40% decline in kids taking art GCSE since 2010…
