Add your support to the campaign for a fair and adequate level of funding for arts in Northern Ireland.
The arts sector is facing a funding crisis that threatens the future of many of Northern Ireland's most valued cultural institutions, events and projects.
Arts funding in Northern Ireland has traditionally lagged behind England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. Currently Northern Ireland invests £6.13 per head of population in stark comparison to England (£8.39); Wales (£9.17); Scotland (£11.93) and the Republic of Ireland (£12.61).While these other regions have enjoyed substantial increases in their arts spending, Northern Ireland is investing less and less each year on cultural activity.
Central government plans to cut the arts budget by a further £800,000 by 2008 in a move that will do irreparable damage to Northern Ireland’s already beleaguered arts sector. In total government spending on the arts will have been slashed by 10.4 per cent between 2004 and 2008 if the proposed cuts go ahead.
The situation will be exacerbated further as a predicted fall in Lottery monies will result in resources for the arts becoming even scarcer.
This chronic under funding puts Northern Ireland at a distinct disadvantage in comparison the rest of UK and Republic of Ireland. The region faces the prospect of an artistic “brain drain” as our brightest talents are forced to travel to Edinburgh, Dublin or London and hampers efforts to tap into the lucrative cultural tourism market.
The funding crisis cuts across all art forms and all aspects of the arts. It is vital that the arts sector unites to oppose these cuts and spell out the contribution that the arts have made to Northern Ireland society.
