Corporate and individual giving to the arts has plummeted according to the first UK Arts Index which shows that, between 2007 and 2010, corporate giving has plummeted by 17% and philanthropy is down by 13%.

I discussed the drop in art philanthropy with Sam West of the National Campaign of the Arts on the Today programme.
