Political Neutrality Policy

At Everybody Arts, we believe in the transformative power of the arts to foster understanding, empathy, and dialogue in our communities.

As a politically neutral organisation, we are committed to providing a platform for creative expression without endorsing any political stance, ideology, or agenda.

Our Commitment to Political Neutrality

Everybody Arts operates as a politically neutral organisation. This means:

  • We do not align with or support any political party, group, or ideology.

  • Our role is to provide a space for diverse voices and perspectives to be explored through the arts and creative expression.

  • We approach every project with sensitivity and respect, ensuring our programming fosters inclusion and mutual understanding.

Supporting Creative Expression

We support our artists by:

  • Encouraging creative freedom to express their perspectives and experiences.

  • Providing a safe and open platform for the exploration of challenging themes.

  • Facilitating dialogue between artists, audiences and communities to deepen understanding and promote meaningful engagement.

Fostering Dialogue and Understanding

We recognise that certain issues and themes can evoke a wide range of emotions and opinions. To ensure constructive and respectful dialogue, we:

  • Provide context and background for our programming to help audiences engage thoughtfully.

  • Offer opportunities for discussion, such as artist talks, Q&A sessions, and community forums.

  • Uphold a commitment to respectful engagement, both in-person and online, by maintaining clear community guidelines for discussion.

Our Ethos

While the themes explored by some of our artists may touch on political or social issues, our focus is on fostering an environment of inclusivity and compassion, which enables people to exercise their creativity and explore their ideas. We value and celebrate all perspectives and are proud to be able to bring people together in a safe, politically neutral space, where different perspectives can be explored creatively and respectfully.  

We believe that the arts provide a unique space in which communities can come together to explore issues that are important to them. We are committed to providing this space by maintaining a neutral stance.

Your Role in the Dialogue

We invite our audiences to approach our programming with curiosity, empathy, and a willingness to listen. Whether you agree or disagree with the perspectives shared through the work, we encourage thoughtful reflection and respectful dialogue.

Everybody Arts remains steadfast in its mission to support creativity and community while maintaining a politically neutral space for the arts to thrive.
