Arts and Culture debates at the Battle of Ideas 2010
[Passing on this email from Claire Fox, Institute of Ideas] In the run-up to this year’s Battle of Ideas festival weekend on 30 October and 31 October, an exciting programme of Satellite Events around the country will showcase free thinking on everything from the nature of genius to public health, from the state of secularism to the myth of racist kids. I thought you may be particularly interested in these upcoming debates, one of a series of Satellites run in partnership with Time Out London…See More

I approached this area from the opposite angle, by googling for:

If you are unlucky enough to live in a country where the arts are described as elitist, it is likely because they are underfunded (even if you have been told "the arts of…"

One of the key facts in that last section almost slips past the eye ... the "total (federal, state and municipal) public funding, which remained below $3bn". Given that the private funding was 12.8bn, it…"

CultureWatchEuropeInformation and exchange platform for culture, heritage and media developmentsThe Conference will seek to explore not only the direct impact of the financial crisis on the cultural sector in terms of threats and losses, but also to question the state’s role as a substantial provider of culture.

How much could there be in the future? How successful could private funding be in the future?When there are any discussions on private philanthropy, it is generally in comparison against the touch-stone of the system in the United States. Certainly, it has been much mentioned in the UK in the current…See More

There's been much discussion in the UK over the possible loss of artistic freedoms in return for private funding. Arts companies in the US have other, and bigger, problems. My own particular area of interest is opera, and the last two years have been particularly harsh in the US -- a dozen companies (with about 400 years of operating history between them) have gone bankrupt in the last two years, and the remainder have reduced the numbers of productions, shortened seasons, deferred new world… Continue

Blog vs Forum -- how to choose
There have been several occasions recently where the same stories were posted to both the blog and the forum parts of this site, with consequent splitting of the follow-up responses. The two look somewhat the same but work rather differently.
