An "Arty" read for Saturday morning :) A couple "bits" that draw our attention -“For many working in the cultural industries, arts engagement is still a tick-box exercise that involves little or no participation. It maintains the audience/artist dichotomy. It presents “excellence” as something to be watched, listened to and performed by someone from outside the community. It encourages a divide that sees artists as special or different. It means attainment of skill is something only for the “talented”.
But as long as we don’t allow everyone the opportunity to attempt all artforms, we cannot claim anyone is talented. As long as we’re not offering the same opportunities to all, we can’t know if talent even exists.”
“The local enthusiast, rather than the flown-in expert, underlines the possibility that we can all be creative.”
