Making a living in Australia as a writer, musician, or artist has become an increasingly tenuous proposition.
In recent years the arts sector has been transformed — lockdowns and streaming services have radically changed the market, with work becoming more insecure and lower-paid.
Now, the federal government has unveiled the first major injection of funding in a decade: under a new national cultural policy it’s calling “revive”.
So, what will it mean for artists? Will arts work finally be treated like real work? And will this policy help Australia create good art?
Today, Editor of The Monthly Michael Williams on whether the Albanese government’s arts policy can revive the sector.
