Call for whole-of-government arts support | The Australian

From the Austrailian

Call for whole-of-government arts support | The Australian: "ALL government departments would contribute a 1 per cent dividend to the arts, under Creative Australia's recommendations. Other goals are a national indigenous cultural authority that protects, strengthens and promotes Australian culture, language and heritage, as well as digital access to all public museum and art gallery collections.

The 100 artists, actors, writers, musicians, festival directors, academics, architects and designers also called on the Government to establish a national endowment fund for the arts. The fund would include public endowment money and private philanthropy and patronage to provide artists' support, including loans and grants.

Incorporating the arts into the national school curriculum was a high priority of the Toward a Creative Australia: the Future of the Arts, Film and Design session."
