Thank you to all who are contributing to the #StatusOfTheArtist event, particularly the artists.

Hearing their views & discussing how best we can support the arts sector is imperative for informing future policy.

At the #StatusOfTheArtist conference today we'll discuss:
🟢Basic Income for the Arts
🟢Artist Supports
🟢Creative Climate Action
🟢Wellbeing
+more

[Catherine Martin @cathmartingreen]

Just published: research on the impact of the Basic Income for the Arts pilot one year on.

The results are positive which is welcome news.

Artists too often struggle for the income to meet even their basic needs. This initiative changes that.

Worn out from weeping
All day and all night
Who’s left to die…

Sunday Read: Legacy of the Lockout

Due to a heroic display of solidarity which exemplified all that is best in the human spirit, the bosses failed to smash the ITGWU. Within a short few years the Union was stronger than ever. #Larkin150 #Unionise

@kate_odwyer @EdelMeade @irishexaminer I’m in total agreement for all more payments and valuing musicians properly, I guess I’m just talking from exp of an exchange of value when it comes to say, a radio session. Whole heartedly on the same team around people being paid properly.
