An organisation offering cut-price legal advice to arts groups across London has emerged as one of the latest victims of Arts Council England’s proposed funding cuts.
The legal arm of InterChange Studios, a community charity and education centre that has been running since the seventies, currently provides advice for almost 50 arts organisations and community groups in London every year - amounting to more than 25% of its annual work load. However, as part of its review of regularly funded organisations, ACE has proposed not to renew the service’s £80,000 grant from next April. According to Peter Korn, head of InterChange Legal Advisory Service, this could mean the end for his department, which cannot be financially supported by other parts of the charitable organisation.
