The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) is inviting artists, arts workers and organisational members (aka those big arts companies that employ us), to join an online consultation on parenting in the arts.

She continues: ‘For too long, the sector has operated on the assumption that artists and arts workers don’t have caring responsibilities. That simply isn’t the reality and it leaves many behind. If we’re serious about inclusion and equity, we need to design our systems from the assumption that everyone has responsibilities, and build flexibility and care into our policies, programs, and budgets.’
