[microsound] Fw: Save the Logos Foundation!

Dear All,

The Logos Foundation has formed a focal point for experimental 
Belgian and international artists since 1968, showcasing contemporary 
music and sound art.

Our workshops provide space for in-house artists and guests to build 
innovative instruments and develop new technologies. Logos has its 
own orchestra, Man & Machine, which consists of more than 50 
interactive musical robots and is absolutely unique in the world.

Along with numerous other arts organisations, the Logos Foundation 
found out on Friday evening that it will lose its government subsidy 
from 2013 onwards. It is expected to continue with an annual 
allowance of 0 euros, despite receiving two positive recommendations 
from the official evaluation committee. In other words, although both 
its artistic plan and its business plan were judged feasible and 
worthwhile, it was not allocated a subsidy.

Help to save Logos! Convince the Minister of Culture to still 
subsidise our Foundation! Please follow the link below and sign the 
petition and please spread this petition amongst your friends, so the 
Minister of Culture can see the national and international support 
for the Logos Foundation. Thank you!
