Master poet Lefifi Tladi said to us "artists are the servicemen/women of society's sanity"! #SupportArtists #ArtistsLivelihoods
Art is light in the darkness. Shining beacons which strengthen resolve and enable hope. We need art the most in the darkest times.

Support artists, individually & collectively (including yourselves if applicable), however you can in the face of our every crueler world.
I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.

We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

The big fish are scary, but there’s more of us than of them. Support each other, support local drag artists, queer artists and LGBTQ+ spaces.

Organise, plan, fundraise. If history can teach us anything it’s that we can get through anything, together.

Just do it ! #artistslivelihoods at stake
Greetings and #goodnight from #scotland, where the national arts funding body#creativescotland has announced the closure of the Open fund for individual artists. This is one of the few remaining funding lines available to artists. Write to your MSP, MP, anyone. Make a fuss!
