Today I celebrate… the Australian arts and literary community.
Today is the National Day of Action.
I will be attending several events in the city over the coming days, learning, connecting and catching up with friends. (Including the Emerging Writers’ Festival National Conference – come say hi!) Artists are participating in many different ways. If you don’t consider yourself a writer or artist, but want to help, I’m sure you can.
Spread the word about your favourite works.
Sign this petition.
Write a letter, post, update or tweet to people you admire. Tell them why you value their work.
Buy their books/art, if you can afford it.
Show a Patreon or crowdfunding project some love.
Ask if you can help in other ways!
Watch the National Arts Election Debate that was held in Melbourne last week.
