SUMMARY:A Casual Inquiry
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:For the second time in five years the Australian arts sector is
  the focus of a federal government inquiry. \nThe latest is a broad rangi
 ng investigation initiated by Arts Minister Paul Fletcher and being delive
 red by the multi-party Standing Committee on Communications and the Arts. 
 The Minister has asked the committee to inquire into and report on Austral
 ia’s creative and cultural industries and institutions responding to the
 se terms of reference. Submissions to the Inquiry have now closed and at t
 he latest count 170 submissions have been processed and made public. As a 
 point of comparison\, the 2015 Senate Inquiry into the arts received 2\,71
 9 submissions. \nThe current Inquiry comes at a time of massive change an
 d disruption in the arts and creative industries. Lots of artists and orga
 nisations are feeling the effects of exhaustion and consultation fatigue f
 rom an already unprecedented year. Are these factors in what looks like it
  will be a comparatively low number of submissions to a process the could 
 have massive implications on the future of the arts and creative industrie
 s in Australia. Which voices are at risk of being missing? \nWhat is the 
 purpose of this current Inquiry? Why has it been established and why now? 
 How will the findings be used? How many submissions would need to be recei
 ved for the Inquiry to be considered legitimate? How can/should we respond
 ? \nAs part of its Arts Front 2030  project\, the team from Feral Arts wi
 ll lead a three-part\, 90-minute format Day of Demonstration session to:\n
 talk directly with the secretary of the Committee on Communications and th
 e Arts about the status of the current inquiry\, and the plans and process
 es for people likely to be involved in giving evidence through public hear
 ings.reflect on the 2015 Senate Inquiry and what it means for the current 
 Inquiryinvite panelists to respond to key questions and in the process pro
 duce a video that will itself be presented as a submission to the Inquiry.
