*DON'TJOINTHEM* "The more #artists support ambition to be part of the status quo, the more we support the limiting structures set by the status quo" great insight from #artist @camp_networking in response to my provocation.

"Organisations to make #artists regular agenda item, to get beyond who are we going to work with but how can we support #artists / include #artists in our organisational make-up beyond the programme"

"Diversity as JOYFUL and VULNERABLE space/place to share/understand/learn/change"

"framework for .... super-structures to relinquish control"

"A case for artists" #artspolicy

"Give #artists regular income .... pursue less ‘object or final project’ based outcomes .... measuring the intangible outcomes."

"greater solidarity among #artists"

"[new] structures of mutual support...."

"pity only a few people in #artsorganisations who would think this conversation would be relevant to them… :("

"All #artsorganisations should have #artists on their board. No #artist or independent member should be expected to be on a board with being reimbursed" (NB avoid 'symbolic' high-profile kind in'bit-player' role)

"move away from transactional relationships … and.... give far less of our attention to what already exists that makes no space for us as #artists, and just build our own structures"

"#artists need to breathe... to fill their lungs with clean air ... to move from transactions to belonging and leading #arts activity WHERE THEY ARE.... as a designated community of interest, through cooperation and collaboration...."
