National Cultural Policy – Postcard Campaign

18 October 2011

Don’t turn your back on arts and disability.

All Australians should have equal access to our arts and culture.

Cut and paste this text into an email to have your say on Australia’s new National Cultural Policy (details below).

“I believe that the National Cultural Policy should demonstrate its commitment to improving access and opportunity for people with disability to engage in Australia’s arts and culture at all levels: from attending as a member of an audience, to being employed within an arts organisation, to taking on a leadership role or working as a professional practicing artist.

I call on the Australian Government to include the National Arts and Disability Strategy (NADS) within its new National Cultural Policy, and to invest in the $24million needed to implement the NADS over the next four years.

Now is the time to make sure our arts and culture are accessible for everyone to enjoy.”
