The imperative to create time for artists to work

Australians are showing an unprecedented love of the arts, but our artists remain amongst the lowest paid in our society – especially in regional Australia.
Please read the rest of the speech from Kathy Keele, CEO of Australia Council for the Arts
We are talking to more and more artists and community arts groups in regional areas who are struggling and looking for a new approach.
The Ernesto Sirolli mandate of 'only do what you love to do' is playing out as a possible solution, or at least part of the solution. Match this with skilled people and resources that actually respond to the needs of the sector, then who knows what is possible.
