David Shrigley urges the public to lobby to support funding for the arts in the 
run-up to the comprehensive spending review by the government in October 2010. In
particular he is supporting the petition at

www.savethearts.org.uk

The petition states: “It has taken 50 years to create a vibrant arts culture in 
Britain that is the envy of the world. We the undersigned appeal to the government
not to slash arts funding and risk destroying this long-term achievement and the
social and economic benefits it brings to all”.
