Deborah Stone, ‘Australia registers world’s first Arts Party’ ArtsHub, 24 September 2014
The Arts Party has been registered by the Australian Electoral Commission and will field candidates at the next Federal Election, putting arts and culture firmly on the political and social agenda.
The Party aims to be an independent voice for arts, culture and creativity. It will run candidates in State and Federal elections with a political agenda of improving arts funding, building creative communities and increasing understanding of the importance of creativity to the knowledge economy.
