What have you heard about how the economic meltdown is affecting the visual arts market? The first place to look is auction house results and we are getting a fairly clear message.

Visual artists will be feeling an uncomfortable mixture of anticipation and disappointment about the biggest news around: Arts Minister Peter Garrett's announcement last Thursday of the terms of an Australian Resale Royalty scheme. It should have precipitated undiluted joy.

Since well before the last election, you have been hearing contesting views about the Government’s promise to introduce an Australian artists’ resale royalty rights scheme. So you must be wondering where it’s at.

The arts seems to be much in the news of late. While not all of it is what we would prefer to hear, good things may come out of it, so let's be optimistic!

n the midst of the media frenzy over naked children in art, it is perhaps important to consider what we stand to lose if the zealots have their way. Children are to be made to feel ashamed of their bodies. All adults will be presumed to be paedophiles if they look at any images of naked children.

How exciting to start the year in a sparkly new arts policy environment. For the visual arts, as a first act we understand that resale royalty legislation is in preparation. Taking an optimistic view, Labor’s arts policy is crammed with good intentions which we look forward to seeing developed in more detail and rolled out in the next few months.

Where were you on election night 2007? If you are involved in Australian visual arts, in the coming years you may have cause to remember. The new PM, Kevin Rudd has firmly indicated that arts is on his agenda with the announcement of the establishment of the richest literary prize in the world. Could this be heralding a new Renaissance in Australia?

Though election fever builds, sadly the arts gets little political attention. But it has not always been the case that we have been so low in the pecking order.

You would have to be an expatriate or dead not to know that there’s an election coming up, but don’t switch off. Now is a good time to be making active approaches about policy commitments that the visual arts sector wants from all political parties.
