This one would be more funny if Scotland’s arts weren't already on their knees. Summerhall in Edinburgh in real trouble, heads to roll here imo, a staggering lack of judgement

The details of this where they have documented concerns being raised internally are unreal. Hard to imagine what they were thinking!

It's a shame because arts council funding is a lifeline for independent artists/producers who are trying to create something which might be more niche or outside the mainstream. Let's hope that this doesn't affect other projects which might be provocative but maybe not as controversial as this proposal.
