Along with over 100 colleagues from other cultural organisations I have signed an open letter to Scottish Government asking them to fulfil their commitments to support this year.

It’s been a very difficult few days for artists in Scotland. In the midst of the most amazing festival, it’s announced that the main source of support for individual artists will face a 100% cut by the end of this month.

In the last 48 hours, over 9,000 people have signed our petition, urging @AngusRobertson and the Scottish Government to honour their commitments on arts funding. Especially now, Scotland's cultural sector needs backing, not broken promises. campaignforthearts.org/petit…

Please join me in signing this petition to @AngusRobertson to keep the commitment made to Scotland’s cultural sector.
We’re shocked to hear that the Scottish Government is breaking its commitment to reverse planned funding cuts to the cultural sector this year.  Please join us (again) in signing a petition to demonstrate your support. campaignforthearts.org/petit…

Amazing.
Arts funding is Scotland is dire. I wrote a poem ‘Shoestring’ because that’s how it is.

This is absolutely shocking. Arts organisations have moved mountains to adapt to the cost crisis, but we need our government investors to play their part and keep their word.
🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚨 Shocking news: the Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding. In February, thousands joined our campaign to speak out against a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland. It worked. Ministers abandoned the cut. But now they're bringing it back.
