Arts Front is an arts sector visioning project being led by Feral Arts. It connects all artforms and supports all parts of the Australian arts and cultural sector to build solidarity and identify and act on issues that affect all of us.

Arts Front aims to unlock the incredible potential of a conscious, connected and collaborative arts sector in creating a more just, equitable, sustainable and inclusive Australia – and a better world.

By focusing on the arts sector’s contributions to the broader cultural and social fabric, Arts Front is designed to complement and enhance efforts to articulate and evidence the intrinsic and economic value of the arts.
Arts Front looks beyond the constraints of the national realm to connect local actions with an emerging globalism.

The work is framed by key international human rights agreements and aligns with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals to link arts sector actions across Australia with global priorities and targets.
The Arts Front Compact is a distillation of the ideas, principles and priorities identified through Arts Front visioning into a shared statement on the future of arts and culture in Australia in 2030.

The Arts Front Platform is a new software system being developed to support the work of artists, encourage collaboration and report on shared actions.
The work is being supported by a growing network of artists and collaborators from across the country.

With the support of our national investment partners the Australia Council for the Arts, the timeframe for the Arts Front project has been extended into 2021. A national online sector gathering will feature the release of the Arts Front Compact and the launch of the new Arts Front Platform.

We'd love your feedback!!

The Arts Front Platform is in live beta testing. The development team is working on it right now. The full Arts Front system will be launched in 2021.

Please take a look around and feel free to try things out. Features will continue to change and develop but any content you create (profiles, events, groups, actions, reports) can stay in the system.

Your content on Arts Front always belongs to you. You can delete your profile and content at any time. Check out our terms of use and privacy policies for more info.
