Arts
Council cuts Creative Writers Network funding
The
Arts Council in Northern Ireland has cut financial support to the Creative
Writers Network CWN.
This £ 60, 000 cut in literary support means two salaried posts
will terminate by the end of March, said CWN in a statement.
CWN is seeking a review of the decision.
The Arts Council said it considered an application from Creative Writers
Network at its meeting on 11 February 2009.
The Arts Council received an independent Value for Money Review of Creative
Writers Network and its recommendations will have a bearing on the future
relationship between CWN and the Council, said the council.
The Arts Council said it has made an in-principle offer of funding to
CWN to run from 1st-30th April 2009.
This offer is equivalent to one month of its 08/09 grant, i e £5,000,
and is intended to give the organisation a month’s breathing space,
according to the council.
