Why The Arts?
The Arts are the most accessible form of creativity we have. The Arts inspire, inform, entertain and challenge us, to look at our world in different ways, to reassess our positions, to empathise and connect with others. The Arts are inclusive and potent in shared emotional experiences, in teaching the value of acceptance and tolerance.
The Arts channel the very best of us, built on curiosity, imagination and cooperation. Great art seeks not to divide us, instead to unite us in our universal emotions and values. What better foundation for a voice dedicated to helping define the future of a nation? We stand for the Arts in Australia and apply all the positive qualities of Arts thinking into the political platform of this movement - a new positive voice into our Australian democracy.
