Digital Arts becomes Arts Council England's tenth supported artform ‘Digital Arts’ joins Collections and Cultural Property, Combined Arts, Dance, Libraries, Literature, Museums, Music, Theatre and Visual Arts as Arts Council England’s tenth supported artform.

Good to see digital art being recognised once again, after facilitating half the entire sector during COVID.

The interesting point from here will be how it's processed in the industry, and what advantages we can use for accessible work.

Dear Janet Daley: Your Cold War Hangover Is Not A National Security Strategy An open letter from the warehouses, cables and courts actually under attack to the columnist still blaming “woke infiltration” for everything from medicine to the arts.

Janet Daley hunts Soviet ghosts while Russia lights fires and Britain deals with real damage right now.

Some thoughts on this #ArtsCouncil story in the Indo today m.independent.ie/irish-news/ar…. First of, @dpcireland.bsky.social “grant an extension” on data breach notifications under Article 33. 72 hours is a hard deadline. After that data controllers (i.e. Arts Council) got some ‘splainin’ to do.

Two books side by side. Book on left is ‘A School of Art in Dublin since the 18th Century - A History of the National College of Art & Design’ by John Turpin. Book on right is ‘Dreams and Responsibilities - The State and the Arts in Independent Ireland’ by Brian P Kennedy.

Excerpt from Dreams and Responsibilities by Brian P Kennedy. Text reads: After the Treaty, the Ministry of Fine Arts was abolished but nobody told the Secretary, Labhrás Breathnach. He wrote to Diarmuid O hEigeartaigh, Secretary to Dáil Eireann: 'Would you kindly let me know if anything has been definitely decided about this Dept. I have not received any official instructions yet as to its termination so I am undecided whether to stay or not'. O hEigeartaigh replied that the Department of Fine Arts had been merged with the Department of Education. It did not re-emerge for another sixty years.

My two favourite books telling the story of the relationship between the Irish state and the arts. To read them is to see many things change across time, and also to recognise that certain things just keep arising, over and over again in slightly different guises.

#MusicNews 🎶 After 26 years with Northern Ballet, I've made the tough decision to leave. Recent actions toward the Northern Ballet Sinfonia have overshadowed the joy of music. Confidentiality clauses stifle open dialogue. I’ll keep advocating for my fellow musicians. 💪 #MusiciansUnite #ArtsCouncil

Painting of a cute puffer fish on a round wooden board, an original artwork by Candy Medusa. The fish is very bright orange, with a silvery white belly, pink around the puffer's purple eyes, on a blue underwater background. In a pop art or five colour screenprint style. The painting is on a painty wooden table with a couple of paintbrushes next to it so that you can tell that it's proper arty :)
