ArtsPie is an art network that aims to support culturally diverse artists and communities to create systems of cultural production and participation that uphold equity and self-determination. After filling in the form provided on the website, the artist’s details are stored into ArtsPie’s database. ArtsPie would then contact the artist when performance opportunities arise related to his or her skills and experience. This is a formal application for the permission of events held by ArtsPie.
ArtsPie originates from the belief that Australia is a multicultural nation based on profound commitment to arts and artists, the belief that art is a visceral response to the forces of bigotry and intolerance, which seek to undermine the hard-fought battle for pluralism, the belief that art creation is the means of understanding who we are as migrants on Indigenous land, the belief that art creation is a powerful appeal to the work that is still needed to future proof our identity as a society that deeply values its diversity.
The goals of ArtsPie are to make art as diverse, as equal, as confidence and as courageous as our people on the land of Australia:
- DIVERSITY
We privilege non-western ways of doing, knowing and being, to tell stories that illuminate our humanity and improve intercultural understanding;
- EQUALITY
We strive for cultural democracy, sharing our knowledge and skills with partners across the arts and cultural sector to build platforms for engagement and visibility;
- Culture confidence
Diverse communities see themselves represented in and by us, in work that resonates with their truths, underpinned by shared values and dreams of new futures; and
- COURAGE
We are outspoken in our support of cultural participation as a human right, from which we derive social, cultural and economic benefits for the development of individuals and society.
ArtsPie is devoted to champion the development of artists and artform practices that speak to who we are as Australians, embedding pluralism and diversity as a fount of artistic and cultural innovation; to build the case for diversity as one of our greatest cultural assets, through the generation of critical and compelling new work; and to lead transformation in our sector, contesting the marginality of diverse artistic practices through the application of contemporary lenses and frameworks.
With the deepest respect Artspie acknowledges that we live, work and celebrate on unceded Aboriginal land.
We thank all Elders, past and present, for their care, knowledge and generosity, as custodians of the world’s oldest continuing culture.
We pledge our support towards truth telling, reparation and decolonisation. We open our hearts and minds to deep listening, learning, sharing and connecting
Serving as a natural propaganda for Australian art, ArtsPie brings a new pattern of tourism by means of art interaction. We believe that ArtsPie will open the door for arts in Australian and initiate world-wide communication of art.
For all the above amazing goals, ArtsPie promises to do our best in supporting the honourable artists and creatives dedicated to art. To realize our goals to the greatest possible extent, ArtsPie sincerely applys for …
Kind regards
ArtsPie
