Here is the list of organisations to be cut on Guardian blog:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2011/mar/30/arts-council-cuts-list-funding
It's such a long list it's hard to comprehend - and as Clive says the
media arts seem very hard hit within the percentage of visual arts
cuts. I'm sure there's someone on this list who can download the
Guardian data and do the maths?
Whilst everyone is reeling in shock, could we draft a letter to the
Guardian? At don't think it's gonna make a difference - but visibility
seems important. Maybe there'll be a Media Arts Block with the
http://artsagainstcuts.wordpress.com protests now.... ?
Any ideas?
