What Can We Do to End Burnout in the Arts?

from Joyful Work: Ending Burnout in the Arts · host Laura Crossley

Ending burnout in the arts is possible - but how can we do it? I take a look at actions we can take to make positive change for arts workers and organisations. Together, we can create a sector where burnout isn’t the norm, and which doesn’t harm its workers through toxic cultures and overwork. Change will take time, but through small, everyday actions, and compassionate, intentional practice, we can create a sector which enables people and organisations to thrive. Useful Stuff Laura: www.weareculturebloom.com Laura on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurafcrossley/ School of Performance and Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds: https://ahc.leeds.ac.uk/performance Centre for Cultural Value: https://www.culturalvalue.org.uk/ Mental health at workMind: https://www.mind.org.uk/workplace/mental-health-at-work FundersClore Leadership: https://www.cloreleadership.org/ Arts and Humanities Research Council: https://www.ukri.org/councils/ahrc/
