The Public just overshadows WB completely. From what I've seen of it, I can't say there's anything there that I'd want to see - seems like a complete waste of money. x It’s such a hideous building – it’s hardly Selfridges, which compliments the background of the city… The Public just overshadows WB completely.

It is time the whole funding issue was fully investigated. Many organisations/museums/art galleries are having to jump through hoops whilst The Public is handed money on a plate; its unjust!

Nope. Where in the name of all things holy has the money gone? Has anyone seen the accounts for this place? How many bands, artists, small venues, new businesses could £65million support? It makes my blood boil. Did the(real) public ever ask for this? Nope. Where in the name of all things holy has the money gone? Has anyone seen the accounts for this place?

I don't think the Arts Council should even exist. While The Public is a delightful building, I’m against any public funding for the arts on principle.
