Save the Arts: over 100 artists launch campaign to stop funding cuts

'Over 100 leading artists – among them David Hockney, Damien Hirst, Anish Kapoor, Jeremy Deller and Antony Gormley – have joined together to fight government cuts in one area where Britain still leads the world: culture.'

The campaign launches today, with a brilliant new animation by David Shrigley, An Important Message About the Arts, that ponders such weighty matters as public subsidy and public service – oh, and asks whether Tracey Emin is worth as much as a fire engine.'

You can see who supports the campaign and sign the petition, which will be submitted to Culture Secretary Jeremy 'Rhyming Slang' Hunt (pictured, with David Cameron), HERE.
