Hi, it’s Sarah here. I hope you’re ok and keeping safe.

As we isolate to protect one another’s health, we’re all desperate to connect with what inspires us.

But every artist, festival, gallery, theatre, live music venue – they’ve all lost their audiences and all that income.

50,000 artists. 600,000 workers – the majority, casual employed :(

*Bigger than mining.
*Six times the size of the aviation industry.
*And with the hospitality and tourism industries all relying on that success.

Just when we need them most, the creative industry risks collapse.

We’re relying on them to get us through this crisis – and then, to be ready to bring us together in celebration when it’s all over.

The entire industry has united to let the government know what’s needed. Because so far, the stimulus doesn’t help an industry that works in its own unique ways. A specialist package is needed – and the industry has set it all out clearly.

Josh, Scott: you need to listen to the industry and act now.

Let’s make sure our artists and creative companies have a future – to inspire our future.

Act now to .

Every boy has the right to learn to pirouette. Everyone has the right to dream. Billy Elliot. You know the name, the iconic poses of a small boy in red track pants tapping against a backdrop of rioting minors. Perhaps...
