'Cultural vandalism': actor leads protest against cuts to arts funding in England

Recent cuts to arts funding are part of "an agenda of cultural vandalism" benefiting only "a wealthy few", the actor Juliet Stevenson said at a protest over Arts Council England cuts.

Arts Council England (ACE) this month announced it was taking £50m a year from arts organisations in London in its 2023-26 settlement to divert money away from the capital as part of the levelling up programme.

A number of UK arts organisations have been removed entirely from the ACE national portfolio, losing 100% of their guaranteed funding. They include English National Opera, Donmar Warehouse, Oldham Coliseum, Hampstead Theatre, Watermill Theatre, Gate Theatre, and the Regional Theatre Young Director Scheme.
