AN artists' union has urged the Scottish Government to “rethink” the funding model for Scotland’s cultural institutions in the wake of the closure of a prestigious art gallery in Edinburgh.
Speaking to The National, a spokesperson for the Scottish Artists Union (SAU) said the temporary closure of the Modern Two art gallery in Edinburgh is “just the tip of the iceberg” when it comes to the funding crisis facing many of the country’s cultural venues.
They said: “We are acutely aware of the current precarious financial circumstances for organisations and individuals working across the cultural sectors that have been chronically underfunded for decades.
