Interesting article from today’s Vancouver Sun:

Hundreds of grassroots arts groups have been sacrificed to prop up B.C.’s larger cultural institutions.

The provincial government has been scrambling for months to find enough money to maintain grants to the arts — tapping rainy day funds, lottery money and spiriting last year’s budget surpluses forward — but when the music stopped, about 600 groups that normally see funds from the community gambling grant program were left without a chair to sit on.

In contrast, the province’s higher-profile cultural institutions remain protected — at least, for this year — by a firewall of redirected funds, special grants and contingency money. The government has a contractual obligation to fully meet its funding commitments to a core “operating client” base of about 250 arts groups and institutions, and it jumped through hoops to ensure that this happened.
