We’ve been looking at the figures following Tuesday’s funding announcement by Arts Council England to get a picture of where the money invested in the visual arts in England is going to.
While many organisations get slight drops in funding or stay almost the same, there are some that have significant increases, such as Spike Island in Bristol (+77.7%), Autograph ABP in London (+93.8%) and Project Art Works (+53.9%).
For a full list of the new visual arts NPOs, see the attached pdf below. It includes total Portfolio funding for 12-15 and 15-18, and the percentage increase or decrease for each organisation.
