Arts Cuts

Marie-Louise Muir|20:28 UK time, Friday, 10 September 2010

A farmer and his son discuss why the arts are worth saving in David Shrigley's new animated film. It was released earlier today as part of a campaign called Save the Arts.

Locally, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland has just met Stormont's Culture, Arts and Leisure Committee to spell out what the arts cuts would mean for the industry here. A figure of 18% cuts is being talked about, with up to 100 jobs set to go. Nick Livingstone of the ACNI said there was a "real fear that Northern Ireland would become a no go zone for artists".

A no go zone? What do you think?
