A Climate for Art (ACFA) is a new initiative aiming to mobilise the arts industry for climate action. It will officially launch during the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM) on 16 June at Footscray Community Arts and is dedicated to bringing together small and medium sized (SME) arts organisations.
The ACFA campaign has been created by Melbourne-based independent producers and co-instigators, Lana Nguyen and Eliki Reade. Nguyen says in a media release: ‘We’re seeing a mounting range of artistic works responding to the increasingly urgent climate crisis – so this campaign builds on that voice, asking for organisations that stage these works to also structurally reflect the concerns of the artists and communities.’
