“Using a pseudonym can help artists explore a new genre, build a different audience or give them the confidence they need to share their work” - I’m talking pseudonyms, artist branding and online safety on ArtsHub today (https://www.artshub.com.au/news/career-advice/why-we-use-pseudonyms-as-creatives-2619109/).

“Larsen believes we are being globally gaslit by this notion that we should be able to snap back to normal easily and be more driven in the pandemic aftermath when that certainly is not the case, and our duty of care for ourselves and others is arguably more important than ever.”

Thrilled to get a mention in the Scribble and Spacebar blog. More at scribbleandspacebar.substack.com/p/brain-fuel-the-science-and-social.

In December, I launched a new vlog series for my Patreon followers about things that interest and/or infuriate me. The first one's based on an ArtsHub article about Theatre Network Australia's recent report that 51% of indie artists are considering a career change or leaving the arts entirely. Here's a sneak peek... https://www.tiktok.com/@katelarsenkeys/video/7185287352489676034

I made ArtsHub’s list of top 10 career lessons we learned from 2022. The lesson: Begin to say 'enough is enough' and bring some reality to the situation, otherwise investors will continue to expect more for less (https://www.artshub.com.au/news/career-advice/what-we-learned-top-10-career-lessons-from-2022-2600826/).

“Kate's breadth of knowledge of the arts sector in Australia and deep understanding of key issues for creative practitioners, leaders and boards are both impressive and incredibly helpful for organisations wishing to navigate current challenges and prepare for the future” - huge thanks for these kind words, @createclaritynow.

It’s been just a week since Clare Travis of Create Clarity coaching and I delivered our Creative Reset webinar, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to hear it’s already making a difference - with at least one arts org giving their team time off over new year without them having to use annual leave. Small things can make a big difference.

“While “quiet quitting” gets media airtime, others in the sector are asking arts workers to embrace the mantra of “less is necessary”.” I get a mention in Kim Goodwin’s article on the arts losing the war for talent in The Conversation today. (https://theconversation.com/junior-staff-are-finding-better-contracts-senior-staff-are-burning-out-the-arts-are-losing-the-war-for-talent-194174)
