Cuts in the state budget, a gallery on hold and millions on sports: the decline of arts support in South Australia

Retrieved on: 
Friday, June 16, 2023

Opened in 1973, the building was completed before the Sydney Opera House, Arts Centre Melbourne and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

Key Points: 
  • Opened in 1973, the building was completed before the Sydney Opera House, Arts Centre Melbourne and the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.
  • South Australia was regarded as a leader of the arts in Australia for around three decades from 1970 to the 1990s and dubbed internationally the “Athens of the South”.

Arts in the budget

    • In 2018, under the previous Liberal state government, the arts and cultural portfolio Arts South Australia was broken up and sent to different government departments.

      Cuts and restructures send alarm through South Australia's arts sector

      The South Australian state budget was handed down this week.

    • The continued reductions in arts funding seem counter intuitive given the negative impact of COVID on the arts and cultural sector.

Adelaide’s stalled new gallery

    • The new gallery became an election issue in 2018, with the Liberal party running on a platform of developing a national Indigenous arts centre.
    • After the Liberal party won the election, the gallery was named Tarrkarri (“future” in Kaurna language) and was due to be completed in 2023.
    • Significantly, there is no additional money promised for the project in the 2023–24 state budget, although there is a forecast completion date of 2027.

A critical lack of infrastructure

    • There has been a critical lack of cultural infrastructure in South Australia for many years across all artform areas.
    • There has been a call for a dedicated concert hall in Adelaide for many years.

Sports are the big winners

    • While most other states have acquired new concert halls, new art galleries and theatre spaces over the past two decades, South Australia has remained culturally static.
    • When Labor was elected in 2022 there was hope there would be an immediate revival of a government entity focusing on the arts.
    • It was also hoped Labor would be proactive about increasing arts support and build much needed new cultural infrastructure.

Tina Turner: an immense talent with a voice and back catalogue that unites disparate music lovers

Saturday, May 27, 2023

Born in 1939, Tina was older than my mother and nearly 40 years older than me.

Key Points:

  • She remains the only Black woman to have been inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
  • It was also a sound that enabled her to move beyond soul and blues in her solo career.

A genre-fluid singer

    • The very next year, she performed the role of the Acid Queen in film of The Who’s psychedelic operetta fantasy, Tommy.
    • The role gave its name to an album featuring several notable rock covers by Turner, such as Led Zeppelin’s Whole Lotta Love.
    • From the early 1980s, Turner made what has repeatedly been described as one of the most remarkable career comebacks of the century.
    • Even 40 years on, the idea of a woman in her mid-40s singing a pop song about sex work is somewhat surprising.

A musical uniter

    • Turner’s musical agility allowed her to inhabit contradictory musical spaces simultaneously.
    • There is an exuberance here that crosses times and identities to bring a crowd together in the ritual of “rolling on the river”.
    • There alongside them is Turner with songs like The Best, We Don’t Need Another Hero and Nutbush City Limits.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Introducing Jam, a new creator platform to share and listen to bite-sized audio. Jam provides creators with an opportunity to engage with a wider audience of listeners with quick, compelling short-form audio snippets that are "just a minute" (or so).

This makes it easy for listeners to discover shorter content, as new creators as well as existing brands like Billboard, WSJ, 60-Second Science, and NBA Fast Break lean into the trend with "minute briefings" and other mini-podcasts. After a year in closed Beta, the company is headed to Comic-Con today to give attendees a first look at the platform, and start to grow its community of creators and listeners.

  • SAN FRANCISCO, July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Introducing Jam , a new creator platform to share and listen to bite-sized audio.
