Artsday / Screen bingeing goes to the vote

Kath and Kim, a suggestion from the organisers.

“THE Great Australian Binge” is giving the public the chance to vote online for the Australian film or TV show they’ve loved watching in lockdown, and to sign a petition calling on government to do more to support the people in the entertainment industry. Voting to greataustralianbinge.com.au closes at 11.59pm, Sunday, May 17.

THE National Association for the Visual Arts is offering its online “Valuing Your Work” workshop to artists of the Queanbeyan-Palerang region. The workshop covers best-practice standards in pricing structures, payment schedules and artists’ rights and is facilitated by Justine Youssef, NAVA’s professional practice coordinator, via Webinar from 10am-noon, Saturday May 30. RSVP to cultural.services@qprc.nsw.gov.au by May 25, then a link will be sent in the days before the workshop.
