"The cost-of-living crisis is hitting the arts hard. Artists struggle to
survive on poverty wages and audiences are getting priced out.

This challenge is not unprecedented. In the 1980s, another cost-of-living
crisis sparked a bold and imaginative model for embedding artists into the
everyday rhythms of working life."
