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.
🖼️ We're substantially increasing funding for arts, culture and major events in Scotland.
🎸 In the #ScotBudget, we announced the £6.6 million uplift to Creative Scotland funding - supporting the arts and culture sector at this challenging time.
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.

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.
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?
