Suffolk City Council Announce 100% Cut to Arts Budget
January 8 2024
Posted by Adam Busiakiewicz:
Suffolk City Council, the part of England where Thomas Gainsborough once called home, has announced its plan to cut its arts budget by 100%. In particular, it has announced that it will stop core funding of £500,000 to art and museum sector organisations from April 2025 (quote The Guardian). This is part of a wider plan to make £64.7 million savings to refocus energies and funds to prioritise adult and childcare in the county. Local groups, particularly spearheaded by the theatre sector in the region, are leading a campaign to encourage the council to change their minds.
