[curatorial.net] Should the visual arts receive public funding?

[Sophie Mellor]

Dear All
I'm co-founder and co-director of Plan 9, an artist-led curating and commissioning body based in Bristol. We aim to support emerging and mid-career artists, writers and curators. Find out about our past projects at http://www.plan9.org.uk

I'm emailing you all as I've been invited to take part in a panel discussion entitled 'Should the visual arts receive public funding? If so, what should that funding pay for?'. I'm not sure if this is the most helpful or relevant question to be asking in the current funding climate (especially as Plan 9 is facing its own funding crisis!), and I'd be really interested in your thoughts.

Thanks v much
Sophie Mellor
