I'm working 5 days a week, it's a difficult cycle as working five days to survive comfortably in central suburbs (newtown) of Sydney leaves me little time or head space to pursue my interests in the arts world. I think it's good news to hear artists may be considered key workers as I think It would be a shame to see our artist/ creative community diminish in the environment of high living costs of Sydney. Speaking for myself personally being considered a key worker would help me pursue the arts which I'm struggling to do at the moment whilst working almost full time. I greatly value living in a culturally vibrant community and I hope Sydney can remain this way with the support of the cultural policy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
