Dear All,
I have received today a letter from a UK magazine, Feminist Arts News. They
have been informed by the Arts Council of Great Britain that their funding
grant will be cut by 100% from April 1st 1993.
I quote from the letter:
" This decision has come as a complete shock to FAN with no indication
whatsoever or any consultation on the matter - the Arts Council having
funded us for over five years for both production costs and extra marketing
development grants. FAN prides itself on developing a remarkable and
inspiring publication for over 13 years, and therefore is appealing against
this decision and launching a campaign to fight for reinstatement of the
grant.
" The FAN readership often have limited resources and use FAN extensively
through libraries and as part of college courses. For this they should not
be penalised, but more heavily funded.
" Each issue is effectively contextualised around either an alliance of
women or a relavant issue. While being effectively focused this provides
cross-over points relevant to the different experiences of women's lives.
I am a subscriber to FAN and would like to add that I feel it is imperative
that this magazine and others like it survive. We need a breadth of
publishing - not a bland and controlled press for the arts.
FAN ask that any concerned parties write to the Arts Council immediately. I
would like to add that letters from concerned parties around the world
would help immensely.
Write to:
Marjorie Althorpe-Guyton, Director of Visual Arts, The Arts Council, 14
Great Peter St, London SW1P 3NQ
and send a copy to FAN at the address below.
