EQUALITY STATEMENT We are committed to equality. We do not discriminate because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy, maternity and breastfeeding, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation, as stipulated in the updated Equality Act of 2010/2024. Nor do we discriminate through association. We believe in equal pay. We believe it is through equality that social progress is made, and respect for difference makes us better. In addition, we feel artists are deserving of equal treatment and respect as productive members of society. We declare that disrespect of one’s chosen path in life as an artist is detrimental to well-being, damaging to self-esteem, and is unduly burdensome. Creativity is fundamental to existence, and as such, claims a share in equal treatment and respect with other productive roles in society.
