17.01.2022 Grant Applications can be scary. Arts maker and manager Jonathan Homsey wants to help ease that fear away. Across an online workshop and 1 on 1 consultation, he will work with you untangling the code-switching world of grant writing and get you ready to submit your best application yet. Taught from his lived experience as a Queer Person of Colour, this is catered for fellow artists of colour who are applying for the 2022 City of Melbourne’s Art Grants round opening 3 May. Thi...s workshop is great for emerging artists or a mid-career to established artist who wants to brush up on their skills and the context of grants in this new decade.

12.01.2022 There is a huge, troubling and very visible crisis of people in India contracting Covid, being rushed to hospitals and struggling for oxygen. What is rendered invisible is the daily crisis of starvation of artists who are living on the fringes, both literally and metaphorically. These artists are often not seen in the formal economy and they live in poverty and penury. Even under normal circumstances their plight is not given recognition under Covid, this situation is exa...cerbated. Sangam has a long-term relationship with many of these artists. In these arts communities, both rural and urban, there are over 500 artists in total, spreading across villages near Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh and around Bengaluru in Karnataka. Closing our borders and making it illegal for people from India to enter Australia does not mean we should avoid our responsibilities as global citizens. It is more important than ever that our cultural exchange is not just about good times, but about what we do in the hardest of times. We call upon you, our friends and colleagues across the arts to do what you can to support these artists. - The Sangam Team If your are able to donate, please visit the link in our bio or share the link with your networks > https://gofund.me/1e40981c Image courtesy Priya Srinivasan.

06.01.2022 India is going through a massive public health crisis. In response, Sangam Festival has set up a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for artists in precarity of different caste/class/gender backgrounds from urban and rural South India including artists living in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka. There is a huge, troubling and very visible crisis of people contracting Covid, being rushed to hospitals and struggling for oxygen. What is rendered invisible is the daily cri...sis of starvation of artists who are living on the fringes, both literally and metaphorically. These artists are often not seen in the formal economy and they live in poverty and penury. Even under normal circumstances their plight is not given recognition under Covid, this situation is exacerbated. With the support of MAV and our partner in South India, SNS Arts Development Consultancy, we will direct support for the provision of supplies. This includes basic food staples such as rice, dal and spices for immediate needs for approximately 2/3 months. This is usually about Rs. 6000 (approx. $100 AUD) for a family of three. We call upon you, our friends and colleagues across the arts to do what you can to support these artists.
