764 artists had signed our pledge to boycott the new Covid Art grants when we sent the petition to Government last week. There were 497 applications to the award. Pls continue to stand with us, an extra 20k is nowhere near enough for the #covidartscrisis! https://t.co/Wk0sdmo7du

[#ARTS_BLACKOUT @blackout_arts]

Last days to sign the Arts_Blackout petition to support reasonable funding for the arts in Ireland comparable to our EU neighbours and fair access to Gov. Covid 19 unemployment payment for arts workers.
Delivery of petition is set for Thursday 7th of May.

To avail of Covid19 unemployment payment artists need to be registered as sole traders before applying. It is possible for artists/anyone to register as a sole traders and backdate it to the start of this year if not already registered as a self employed artist #covidartscrisis

Its worth considering Alt-currency as a step towards UBI @LeoVaradkar @Paschald if taxing the corporations a fare share is an unavailable option.

Please support our petition to properly finance the arts and introduce a Universal Basic Income through a pilot scheme for sole traders, arts workers, the underemployed, the unemployed and the community volunteering sector.

The stark reality is our Gov. doesnt respect Irish art & culture @LeoVaradkar
Creative Scotland> 3 new funds totalling €12.5million at €2.29 per head of population. By contrast, the €1million for Ireland’s population of 4.9million works out at 20 cents.

"now that theatres and libraries are dark and shuttered, now that art exhibitions can’t happen, now that comedians can’t make us laugh in a live and open space, what are we going to do for them?"
