Stop Treating Art Like a Hobby if You Want to Survive

Let's just say it: Australian culture doesn't value the arts.

We consume it. We binge it. We use it to cope.

But we don't fund it, we don't back it, and we sure as hell don't treat it like the serious industry it is.

This isn't just a government problem. It runs deeper than that, into the bones of how we're raised, trained, and told to operate.
