Come work with me and @WHALE_Arts on the fantastic Creative Community Hubs Network p/t in Edinburgh. Fantastic people and a really exciting initiative attempting alternative approaches to traditional systems/structures. Deadline is 24th June, more info via the Whale website 🥳
We are looking forward to seeing you!
Third event of our network will take place at @aberdeenuni on 26th October 2023, 10:30am to 4pm at the Elphinstone Hall. Topic: The cultural sector and the climate emergency. Book your free space here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/scpr-network… #ClimateEmergency #culturalnetwork #aberdeen
Our next event is due to happen on the 26th of October! Further details below!
First day of Cultural Policy Thursdays for this semester…Began the day talking with colleagues from @SCPRNetwork @elebelfiore and @DonachieJack before spending the rest of the day teaching and talking about Cultural Policy with new MA students @UoMICP #Culturalpolicy #research
After the Scottish Budget, responding to over 15,000 @_CFTA supporters who opposed the arts cuts, Deputy First Minister @JohnSwinney confirmed that "the Scottish Government will provide an uplift of £6.6 million for Creative Scotland for 2023-24". ('An uplift' = no cut...)
The SNP even took to social media to declare that they were "substantially increasing funding" and "supporting the arts and culture sector at this challenging time", to the tune of £6.6 million.
The SNP even took to social media to declare that they were "substantially increasing funding" and "supporting the arts and culture sector at this challenging time", to the tune of £6.6 million.
But seven months on, the £6.6 million pledged to Creative Scotland hasn't been delivered. And now Culture Secretary @AngusRobertson has told them that it won't be. parliament.scot/-/media/files/…
This 'u-turn on a u-turn' is an extraordinary betrayal of Scotland's cultural sector, all those who campaigned to support it, and the Scottish Government's own commitments to protect it. Scotland deserves better than this.
Tomorrow morning, the Scottish Parliament's Culture Committee (@SP_CEEAC) will meet to consider the financial position of Scotland's cultural sector. We are clear: it is in a state of deepening crisis, and it needs backing, not broken promises. Stand by for our new campaign...
🚨🏴🚨🏴🚨 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.
Great opportunity for people interested in policy!
Just finished a report saying apprenticeships policy is a disaster for creative industries, but if its not even working for construction then really what is the point of the policy? (from today's excellent @FT Inside Politics newsletter by @georginaquach ft.com/content/1e66d2…)
Thank you to everyone that came along to the second meeting today…there was so many fantastic discussions amongst the fantastic @VADundee cakes! Thanks to our panel and presenters! Looking forward to seeing you all in Aberdeen for the next network meeting! #SCPRNetwork2023
@dougalperman @innerearuk @TheSMIA Thanks for coming along @dougalperman what a great session - that was a super six panel of freelancers! So much experience for @SCPRNetwork to learn from.
Important discussions happening in our breakout groups this afternoon @VADundee @scotinsight #SCPRNetwork2023 #Culturalpolicy #artsandculture
We are back after dinner with our panel of artists joining us to share their experiences of working in and through the pandemic #SCPRNetwork2023 #culturalpolicy
We now have Ellie Harrison talking about Bus Regulation the Musical- a creative response to policy! #SCPRNetwork2023 #artsandculture #culturalpolicy #research
So much food for thought already…now we have @GillianEasson from @Creative_Dundee talking about growing and sustaining creativity in Dundee #SCPRNetwork2023 #culturalpolicy #research
We now have @Leonie_S_Bell giving a welcome sharing perspectives from her experience of working within the arts and culture sector and how the @VADundee came to fruition #SCPRNetwork2023
