The effect of Arts cuts as of 22.02.2012

What exactly are the real effects of the Arts cuts? Even from an economist's point-of-view they make little sense. Small amounts of public money work hard to deliver a real return for the country both in economic terms and in terms of the kind of society we want to be.

Lost Arts is a three year project which will catalogue all the projects, events, initiatives, performances and organisations that will be lost to us, until the next review in 2015.
