(6)Here in the UK we're all a flutter with speculation over what the new Conservative Government will have to offer, and how they're going to shape the country. In particular, we are interested in how the arts and culture scene is going to be hit.
Policies suggest that we're going to be looking at more focused funding with changes like bringing the National Lottery Fund back on track to be placing money in the right sort of places.
What also makes for interesting reading is the way that funding organisations such as the Arts Council are going to have to tighten the administration budgets in order to optimise the amount of money that will actually be available for funding opportunities. How this will affect the organisations themselves remains to be seen.
It's early days, but it looks as though there are interesting times ahead.
