What would abolishing the UK's department for culture mean for the arts?
Briefly

The UK government is reportedly considering dismantling the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) as part of a wider restructure, potentially redistributing its responsibilities to other departments. Art historian Bendor Grosvenor expresses concern that this move could lead to funding cuts and a diminished focus on cultural advocacy. He calls instead for a reform of the DCMS, criticizing its reliance on arms' length bodies. Political opposition from the Liberal Democrats emphasizes that such a change could severely undermine the UK's creative industries.
Bendor Grosvenor argues that dismantling the DCMS would lead to funding cuts and diminish the government's ability to respond to cultural needs effectively.
Max Wilkinson states that abolishing the DCMS with a mere wave of a hand would jeopardize the creative sector in the UK, which relies on governmental support.
