There’s an election coming up. What does that mean for the arts? Also, the sector responds to the Queensland Music Awards and South Australia launches a cultural policy.
We’re in election campaigning but you could be excused for asking WTF now?! when it comes to arts and cultural platforms from the political parties given how little has been said about it so far.
