Relatively modest - Art 0,49 billion. The budget for arts & culture institutions is relatively small. Profits from the cuts will be very limited, the damages will be tremendous. Abel, Niels Bouwman, Willem Velthoven

Infographics culture cuts

The infographics showed how small the culture budget actually is compared to other government- and consumer spending. The posters were distributed in Amsterdam and Den Haag, and the design could be downloaded and printed for free from our website. Have a look at the whole campaign here. It was inspired by a design by Ruben Pater for SLASH/ART.
