Arts centre 'pauses' work amid funding shortfall
Briefly

The Bernie Grant Arts Centre in North London is halting some of its activities due to a financial shortfall, continuing only with priority projects and existing commitments. Chief executive Azieb Pool spoke about the pressures faced by the center and the need for community support. Board chair Geoffrey Williams emphasized the strategic transformation for the center's future, aiming for resilience while serving the local community. Haringey Council is also offering support during this challenging period experienced by the arts sector nationally.
We're hitting pause on some of our work not because we want to, but because we have to. Like many in the arts, we've been under serious financial pressure.
We have taken this step as part of a necessary strategic transformation. It is a moment to stabilise, reassess, and rebuild a stronger, more resilient Bernie Grant Arts Centre.
