"How we value the arts comes down to much more than looking at the sector’s
economic contributions. There are also the social benefits, and the importance
of connection to culture on a societal level.
Importantly, we need to value art in all its forms – even when it’s confronting
or politically risky. When artists take risks, they add value to society. They
may express deeply felt convictions, or progress public discourse by
challenging common beliefs.
But taking risks means being left exposed. The question then is: to what extent
are arts organisation responsible for protecting artists?"
