Advice for artists

Do you talk with your elected representatives?

I know it's not something that I thought to do, but my mum recommended it and last year the Google Alert I have for my name had a link to NSW Parliament's Hansard.

It led to a Community Recognition Statement about a CASP grant from years ago and Mum was chuffed to come along to the morning tea where this photo was taken.

We know the arts need more recognition, so consider sending your MP an email next time you're promoting a project.
