Arts Council England chair says sector at ‘tipping point’ amid funding fears Sir Nicholas Serota says continued public investment is vital to draw in private funding to maintain cultural centres Arts and cultural centres across England are at a “tipping point” as many face closure or restricted operations without continued public investment, the chair of Arts Council England has warned before next month’s government spending review. Sir Nicholas Serota, who runs the body that distributes public funds to arts organisations ranging from national institutions to community-based ventures, said it would be a tragedy if people outside big cities were denied access to the arts.

If you don’t mind ancient Egyptian mythology there’s the god Thoth who records the good/bad as people journey to the afterlife. God of wisdom and judgement. He’s a scribe. And his wife is Ma’at, goddess of law, morality, justice. The feather of truth/Ma’at was weighed against the deceased’s heart.

Also a colored pencil drawing, from earlier in January 2025

I started working on this drawing around January 17, am considering this finished today, January 31. I wasn’t working on it 24/7. My time is very chopped up, with things I have to do, so I fit in drawing time as I’m able. This is drawn with colored pencils.

If you do, I'm pretty sure that you get a message that sounds kind of like "Paul is dead".

There are many things that are out of balance. I hope you get some helpful answers soon. ❤️

You are definitely not a creepy stalker. Hopefully @rufusqqq.bsky.social will see this message. Also, Rufus is not a creepy person, either. Wow! You are both not creepy!

Rufus and Richard, I hope you will both follow each other!

Another drawing (not a photo)by Nina West. I’m calling this Inside and Outside. Drawn with Cretacolor Nero charcoal oil pencil. December 20, 2024.

Not finished. Drawing in progress. Not a photo. Just felt like putting it here to view from a different perspective.

This is a DRAWING made by me, Nina West, using charcoal oil pencil plus small amounts of wax crayon and white ink. Drawing was completed today, December 4, 2024. #drawing #charcoaldrawing #freehanddrawing

It’s a phrase from a speech by Abraham Lincoln. That speech was a reference the terrible divisions in this country during the Civil War. It seemed apt for the current state of our country. 3 see the drawing that is original post #drawing #fineart

The sun was low on the horizon so the shadow was long. That shadow was very striking to me. While I was drawing this, when I was almost finished, the phrase “A house divided” popped into my mind. 2

The black shape that bisects the house is from the shadow of a pine tree that’s at least 100 feet tall. 1
