Sequins? ✔️
Chaos? ✔️
Local legends serving absolute ✨main character energy✨? VERY ✔️

Unleashed! is hitting the stage in collaboration with Sugar Blue Burlesque, giving talented local performers the chance to perform alongside award-winning burlesque icon Kitty Litteur. 💃🏾🔥

And between us… rumour has it at least one Artgold staff member and possibly even a committee member may be swapping spreadsheets and governance for sparkle and stage lights. We neither confirm nor deny. 👀

A number of Goldfields Pride members and committee members are involved, so get around this fabulous local production and support the people brave enough to wear more rhinestones than fabric.

The “tortured artist” stereotype needs to retire. 🎨

Artists are not magical suffering machines fuelled by burnout, anxiety and cold coffee.

Research is increasingly challenging the myth that creativity only comes from pain. Yes, many creatives experience mental health challenges, but the answer isn’t romanticising suffering while underfunding the arts and expecting free labour “for exposure”.

Healthy artists make incredible art too.

Worth a read 👇

We would all be healthier if we spent less time romanticising artists' suffering and more time embracing cognitive difference and creativity.
