Save the arts!


A new work (shown below) by Turner Prize nominated artist, Cornelia Parker, has been created specially for the campaign led by artists against funding cuts.


The work shows Antony Gormleys celebrated Angel of the North with one of its wings lopped off. The caption reads: Why clip the wings of an industry that is soaring? Its a false economy to cut the arts.



It has taken 50 years to create a vibrant arts culture in Britain, and we do not want the government to slash arts funding and risk destroying this long-term achievement and the social and economic benefits it brings to all.

Please sign the petition at
www.savethearts.org.uk and pass this on :-)
