PROTECT ARTISTS

PROTECT THE ARTS

HELP STEER INSTIUTIONS FORWARD

Freedom of speech, stop cancellations. Offer advice & support. Build case studies. Connect artists to the right legal advice. Support a media strategy and help with the press.

Protect freedom of expression- treating audiences like adults, where appropriate. Advocate for the arts and lobby at highest levels. Bring people together to talk and debate. Explore training in university settings, humanities and conservatoires. Encourage young people to debate and explore the meaning of the arts in society and throughout history. Articulate the importance of the arts to a healthy society. Draw attention to malpractice and discrimination. Conduct research into the state of the arts and organise events.

Institutions and Organisations need to remember their role and mission. Create toolkits for venues. Create robust mission statements that can withstand attack from outsiders and insiders. Reaffirm impartiality, explicitly and implicitly and maintain political neutrality, particularly on divisive subjects. Look at hostile workplace culture and ways to stop it. Look at child safeguarding in the arts.
