In an article by Marcus Westbury (available on his website), he says “the Australia Council's 2009-10 financial year numbers are in and they introduce a bit of a reality check into a growing debate about priorities within Australia's arts funding system”. He argues that, despite the repeated suggestion that Australia is somehow doing away with the "heritage arts" in favour of "new media" it is not an argument that stands up to an encounter with the facts. He is pleased there is a debate in this area but also states that it “shouldn't be a debate about "heritage arts" vs. "new media", it's a debate about what value, if any, we place on the living breathing cultures around us that are being created right now - in all forms and fields.” Click here to access the article.
