Fund local arts places for children

Closed 44 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should set up a scheme to help fund children's places at local arts schools, collages, private dance and theatre academies. This could be at a discount like the eat out to help out scheme.
As well as helping the local arts sector and children, it could help get those freelance teachers back doing what they trained for and help train the next artists, costumiers, set designers, writers, actors, singers, dancers, sound engineers, lighting designers, floor managers, camera, cinematographers. it could also help inject new blood into arts education establishments to get our theatres running again from the ground up by getting families to sign kids up to local classes near them. Play your part and support local art.
