23.01.2022 #ArtIsARealJob: The Artists' Union working group has produced a survey for #VisualArtists and #ArtsWorkers about their working conditions, and willingness to participate in collective action. It's not specific to Covid-19, but is relevant in terms of the general precariousness that this situation has exacerbated. Please consider completing it here:
21.01.2022 Were you one of the lucky Melbournians who saw our 2017 screening of WHITELEY (co-branded with the National Association for the Visual Arts), followed by a conversation with Kathie Sutherland and Wendy Whiteley? In this article, Kathie discusses her epic mission: compiling Brett’s vast Catalogue Raisonnée. #LoveOurArtists #ArtIsARealJob
21.01.2022 Via the National Association for the Visual Arts: "With the urgency of the world’s focus on protecting our lives at a scale we have never known, while communities and economies risk perilous collapse, it can be difficult to put creative practice in perspective. And yet there is nothing more grounding than the practices that compel us.... Art makes the laughter rise from our bellies, the tears well in our eyes, the courage fill our bodies. Art draws on the oldest and richest traditions we have, rearticulating them through hands whose instincts craft new techniques, new objects. Art expands our thinking. Art reconfigures us into new spaces, new experiments, new galleries, new prospects, new publics. Art searches our emotions and finds new depths, new intensities. Art isolates us into curious, inspired beings at the very same time as it connects us across a work, across a room, across the world. Art opens our hearts. Art reassembles our memories, enriching some, obscuring others and then, all of a sudden, art rushes memory to the surface and overwhelms our every sense. Art asks questions, and demands that we do the same. Art imagines entire worlds and then it makes them possible, situating us within their boundaries and then exploding those limits, unsettling what’s real and dissolving it into what’s not yet possible. Art makes that possible. After civilisations rise and fall, after all else is lost or forgotten, art endures. Art creates our future." #ArtIsARealJob #DontCancelCreativity

17.01.2022 Whether we’re talking about arts and recreation services as the Australian Bureau of Statistics designates it, or Australia’s $111.7bn cultural and creative activity as understood by the Bureau of Arts and Communications Research, arts and culture contribute 6.5% of GDP. This is one of Australia’s most employment-intensive industries, with strong industry interdependencies with tourism, accommodation and hospitality. So why haven’t we seen a COVID19 recovery policy approach led by the creative industries? #ArtIsARealJob

11.01.2022 What’s needed now is an ambitious national vision that invests in #arts and #culture comprehensively and empowers its professional pathways. And that means investing in #creative education, arts tourism, the creative industry across all artforms and scales, and creative workers no matter where and how they’re employed. Because we need their thinking, we need their inspiration and we need their boost to our economy. #ArtIsARealJob #RestartTheArts
