Iโm going to keep repeating it, but the sooner the @scotgov wakes up to the looming crisis - rather than taking the current tone-deaf approach & kicking it down the road - the better it will be for everyone, including those ultimately responding for Scotlandโs arts industry.

Given the fall-out over English National Operaโs cuts, a reminder that @creativescots warned MSPs in Aug that 1 in 3 of the organisations it supports are at risk of insolvency, with 900 jobs under threat, incl โmajor cultural organisations of national & international importance.โ

There are now more than 12,000 backers for this @_CFTA petition demanding the @scotgov reinstate its 10% @CreativeScots budget cut & instead commit to increase arts funding to tackle the impact of a โperfect stormโ threatening the future of jobs & organisations.

NEW: The Campaign for the Arts has launched a petition, urging @AngusRobertson and the Scottish Government to deliver the ยฃ6.6m they promised to Creative Scotland in February.
Especially now, Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises.
