The power of art lies in its ability to change our hearts, and open our minds. At its best, it changes the world.
Our country is experiencing a moment of generational political transformation. Change of this kind creates opportunity: to think differently; to imagine in new ways. It’s imperative that we seize this moment to advocate for the value creativity and culture can offer to all of us, and to our country – and for the investment that will allow that value to extend to all citizens, everywhere. Inspired by the new government’s mission-led approach, therefore, I want to propose a set of missions for the future of the arts: five areas in which I believe the cultural sector could collaborate with government to achieve genuine renewal.
