I think participation and creation of the arts by all and for all is really important if we are to have a truly inclusive and diverse society. It is wonderful to read inspiring stories such as Shelley, Gerald and John’s. I agree.

I'm an artist at Spark Studio and work as their Website Developer and Maintainer. I've been involved with Spark Studio for 7 years, and it's impacted on my life in so many ways. I feel my art makes a contribution to society - adds to the diversity and inclusivness that my community is working towards. Without art in our lives, and in the wider community, society crumbles. Spark Studio is a place that highly values their artists. Thank you Marianne for writing this blog.
