Local Government Arts Funding Crisis (with Stephanie Sirr, Zak Mensah and Cllr Liz Green)
Description
The country-wide economic squeeze has hit the arts and culture sector hard. Local governments - under pressure to save money - are making cuts to their support for local arts organisations, sometimes removing funding completely.
Why are we in this situation and what can be done to make positive progress?
Host Tom Dawson is joined by three expert guests to understand the context and try to come up with some answers:
Stephanie Sirr - CEO of Nottingham Playhouse and Co-President of UK Theatre
Zak Mensah - Co-CEO of Birmingham Museums Trust and a Trustee of Cultural Enterprises
Cllr Liz Green - Chair of the Local Government Association's Culture, Tourism and Sport board and Councillor, Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames
The Arts & Culture Podcast aims to seek out and share best practice and innovation from museums, galleries, heritage sites and beyond, all across the UK.
Host Tom Dawson is Director Of Digital for the Association for Cultural Enterprises.
