We're deeply saddened to hear of the impending funding cuts to the Birmingham Arts and Cultural sector, following Birmingham Council's section 114 notice. Fierce is still here, doing our thing, alongside many other brilliant orgs in this city.

One by one civic councils are cutting all its funding for vital cultural offer. It's getting really bad, really quick. The domino effect is going to be disastrous. Birmingham colleagues, I'm thinking of you.
We are dismayed that Birmingham, the UK’s second city, will lose almost all its council funding for the arts over the next 2 years. Defunding the arts will harm quality of life, exacerbate inequalities & set back economic recovery. It will only make our problems worse. (1/8)🧵

Our European friends have looked on over the last 5yrs counting their blessings that London appeared unable to book @ForcedEnts, freeing them up for their enthusiastic audiences. The welcome arrival of Mark Ball @southbankcentre appears to have changed that, and long may it last.
