Agree with 'growth up' rather than trickle down. Give to small groups and individuals, who are then empowered & financed to approach larger orgs they value with ideas that matter to them. Go outside the usual suspects & the whole sector's rewarded with unexpected amazing results.

The cultural sector is self-organising for survival. But what are we fighting for? A return to how things were, or a fundamental reset? Today we're launching #CultureReset - a summer programme for producers, makers and leaders across the arts. Apply now at culturereset.org

Essentially move beyond the patron model, with all the associations and downside of connections, power and access and nationlise/democractise the arts

Important caveat that defines this - is to move beyond the idea you 'deliver' culture. You don't - you 'foster' it.
This from the head of state, the President of #Ireland presenting hopeful, humane thoughts on the need for 'new paradigm founded on #universalism, #sustainability and #equality'. Miles ahead scottishcommunityalliance.or…

Always supporting an underdog 🤷🏻‍♀️ (screeengrab is from this excellent artist website. Why he is not as famous as his contemporaries Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko etc.? Because he did not want to stick to one style and produce multiple versions of the same idea).
