Welcome

Miss Penny's Arty Stuff is a blog for artists. I aim to promote the many genres of the arts and share stories of interest and relevancy with an artistic community.

Mary Poppins musical sweeps awards



Mary Poppins musical sweeps the Helpmann Awards! Congratulations to the producers and cast.

We have such talent in this country and yet the ABC has just axed Arts Programming. What a terrible shame and a statement about the level of importance the Arts holds in Australia. Imagine a future without public programming about Arts. Are only those people who pay for television to have any Arts Programming? Won't this further divide the audiences into the 'die-hard Arts attendees' and make it even more difficult to engage the 'not-so-interested' group? I believe we don't want to just preach to the converted - we need art to be accessible, this decision isn't helping. Please have your say too.
