In a promotional video organised by entertainer James Bustar, artists from a range of disciplines express their loneliness, despair, and a deepening concern that the arts are being overlooked for government support during the last 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘Very few people beyond artists’ immediate circle are aware of the depths of despair into which they’ve been plunged amid the silence of government … The video is an impassioned plea from the arts community for a lifeline to get them to the other side of the pandemic.’
