Art news from Art Calendr
isn’t featured much but now with the election in process, whichever party leads the next government, the key issue for arts will be funding as the Department for Culture, Media and Sport faces budget cuts in 2011-12.
With the UK general election taking place on 6 May, the governing Labour Party’s election manifesto includes detailed commitments to the arts, unlike that of the centre-right Conservative opposition. Indeed it figures as one of the “50 steps” which the Labour Party promises for a “fairer” Britain—the summary of 50 national commitments which conclude the manifesto.
The party states it will give “operational independence for major museums and galleries, with more lottery funding returning to the arts, sport and culture after 2012″. To implement this, new legislation will ensure “managerial and financial autonomy” for national museums.
