Abolish the Arts Council

The Bournbrook Press/Golconda Fine Art Books, TBP002, September 2022, 20pp, no illus., paperback pamphlet. This pamphlet written by Alexander Adams with David Lee, lays out the case for the abolition of the Arts Council. The priorities of the Arts Council are now political ones, not artistic, and are contrary to the welfare of the arts, the wider society and the population. The current public-model of arts funding is imperilled because of the takeover of the Arts Council by politically-orientated staff. However, there will be no easy solution, as the Arts Council is only one of many bodies in the culture sector that has been captured and degraded by activists. Abolish the Arts Council discusses the problems and potential routes to a solution.
