On Friday 3 December, Barnet Council announced their proposal to cut all core funding to artsdepot, the only professional arts venue in the borough, with effect from April 2011. This decision comes as a huge shock because of the late notice and our previously good relationship with the Council. At an already uncertain time this leaves the future of artsdepot in an increasingly vulnerable position.

To support your local arts venue, please pledge your support by signing the petition now, and pass it on to others you think may be interested.
