"I agree time is of the essence but I have to assume that NCA is handling this. Presumably the longer term target is Parliament, the Spending Review, and local authorities. Roger"

National Campaign for the Arts to launch IValueTheArts national sign up campaign

The NCA is about to launch a national campaign, and @IValueTheArts is already circulating on Twitter.I think this is the great opportunity to get the public of Britain to sign up to demonstrate their love and appreciation of the arts.  Can we beware of multiple petitions proliferating when we want hundreds of thousands, millions of signatures in one place.RogerSee More

Roger Tomlinson replied to Keith Jeffrey's discussion Unpleasant signs of arts world infighting

Roger Tomlinson replied to Jack J Hutchinson's discussion DCMS could face cuts of 40%
"Since it looks increasingly likely that the coalition government will trigger a "double-dip" recession by cutting too much too soon (and spooking the markets), it would be ludicrous of them to expect philanthropy - corporate or private -…"
