Sneek Peak! An Equation

Artist Rent­ing Apart­ment. Illus­tra­tion by Andrew Schick.

Sad Mag launches issue two on Decem­ber 17. Until then, we’re releas­ing sneak peeks from the new issue.

So the provin­cial gov­ern­ment has announced its plans to clear-cut fund­ing to the arts over the next few years. From a pro­jected $42 mil­lion in 2009/2010 to just over $3.5 mil­lion head­ing into 2012—that’s a loss of roughly ninety per­cent, a true decimation.

Yeah, well, big whoop. Arts cuts? More like farts cuts.
