Because I need to feed the geek in me.

 

Sports for Arts

I was chatting with Coxsoft Art last week about the recent arts funding cuts in Canada and was told that Britain had some recent cuts, in part, because funds needed to be diverted to the 2012 games. I said I suspected this was also a driving force here in Canada because of the 2010 games.

And now the Globe & Mail reports that it’s true.

Thanks to Margaret of the Against cuts to foreign touring and Trade Routes programs Facebook group for sending that around.

I guess it would be asking too much for the athletes to stand in unison with the artists to protest the budget cuts.
