RHYTHM CHANGES X MUSIC DECLARES EMERGENCY PANEL EVENT ➡️ MORE COMMUNITY TICKETS RELEASED At Music Declares Emergency, we believe that funding diverse voices from across the UK is key to bringing the full spirit of British art to the forefront of culture. When artists are properly supported financially, they are better able to make sustainable decisions, and those empowered voices can help shape culture and mobilise people. To ensure we bring a diversity of voices to our upcoming Panel Event on 13th April at The Social, we've released more COMMUNITY TICKETS to ensure more unwaged folk are able to join the conversation. The panel, co-hosted with DIY London promoter Rhythm Changes, will explore the realities of making work happen in today’s creative industries, from alternative funding routes and community support, to the innovations helping power up the grassroots sector.
