Why is the Arts Council story not that there are a bunch of IT /tech companies selling absolute snake oil and getting away with it?
Rather than individual costs to a small organisation.

this is essentially, what's up
The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

The way forward is the same as it’s always been - organize your neighborhood, your household, your workplace. Nobody is coming to save us except ourselves. Look out for one another.

Art should be funded like science. To properly fund art, you fund failure. Funding failure will give you occasional excellence. Creating any art with the aim of it being popular enough to make money, will give you consistent mediocrity. Arists need funding to play and fail because that's the process
Let me tell you about the weird business that delivers art into our lives, and the impact it has on the long-term careers of artists. This is a thread prompted by yet another article on authors' incomes, and the inevitable reactions from the 'people-would-pay-if-it-was-worth-it-to-them' brigade. 1/

Social media is a great tool for artists. Start your day by tweeting, then make a reel for Instagram, cross-post to Facebook, link to your shop on BlueSky, upload to TikTok, post on Mastodon, add a poll to Flurgle, snurt on Snurter, and you've a whole 5 minutes left to draw something

The idea that a service needs to be self-funding to justify existing needs to die in a ditch.
Trinity have finally confirmed that Science Gallery Dublin will not reopen. The focus has been on how much of a cultural loss this is (which I agree with), but it also represents a lot of job losses in a small, struggling sector.
