Arts Council Decisions

The Funding for the first round of Commissions have announced. These are designed to promote creative partnerships between a diverse range of commissioners and artists. The Arts Council received 65 applications and has offered a total of 33 awards in response, none of them for literature. Why did no one commission a book? Or a poetry collection?

There are some interesting sounding partnerships though.
