"Sure - I think my hesitation here is that this thread was framed around online fundraising as a way of dealing with core funding cuts. If organisations fit it into their development plans that way I think they'll be disappointed.

November 10, 2010 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm
Following last week's Spending Review, and all the months of speculation and planning which preceded it, it's time we got together to discuss the issues in detail, share our thoughts, brainstorm and more.
Nick Sherrard commented on Jack J Hutchinson's blog post ACE faces heavy criticism from Select Committee

The CBI and Creative Industries
I just came across this report from the CBI on their views as to what the government needs to do to support the creative industries. Clearly this is only one aspect to the wider cultural life we need to support but I have found this a useful tool today even in explaining to people from outside the sector about the wider creative ecology we need to protect.
A link to the report is here;…

Bad Cuts, and Badly Made Cuts
At the end of a big day for culture it seems that Hunt has managed quite a feat of presentation.

Ideas from our Arts Funding Meet-up in London
Yesterday in the centre of London we gathered a group of people from very different parts of the cultural sector in an informal gathering to talk all things arts and culture funding related. We had people working in museums, in dance, in commercial theatre, in festivals, fringe theatre, participatory arts and digital media for cultural organisations.
We discussed a whole range of issues around the current state of culture funding, the impacts of that on the actual work that…
