As I am sure many of you are aware the Arts Council announced its Major Grants funding yesterday. Sixteen museum organisations around the country were lucky enough to receive funding and I pass my congratulations on to them. However there were some significant areas of the country missed out including South Yorkshire and the East Midlands – that’s 4million people without a leading museum in their area.

 

If you believe that the balance needs to be readdressed please read this blog and then take action to let the Arts Council know access to great art and culture should be for all http://www.museums-sheffield.org.uk/blog/2012/1/help-us-make-the-case-for-culture-in-sheffield

 

Thanks
