Framing the Argument for Artists

We as artists and freelancers Dramatically need to change the conversation. Whilst we may, in our daily lives focus on the artistic merit of what we do, and work towards being an integral part of a fulfilled and healthy society, as a collective group we need to focus on the numbers & economic impact of our sector and stop letting the narrative paint us as valueless and in need of charity! Even aside from being vital to the health of any society, we are a vital part of the economy.
