Scottish Traditional Arts
posted 04/09 by josiah.lockhart
Being immersed in Dalry most days I constantly hear both support and angst for the Scottish Government. One big issue is the recent pulling of government funding from nearly all traditional arts groups in favour of higher profile, commercial, and income generating groups as they prepare of 2009’s Homecoming (their tourism campaign). Today a few of us went to check out the campaign and protest at the parliament for grassroots ‘indigenous’ arts groups. The campaign may interest you.
Check out the petition here.
There are also articles in most of the major (and some minor) papers in Scotland about the protest/developments on these local and community arts cuts.
