Welcome to The Arts Collective!
TAC Editorial No.1. October 2003

The Arts Collective stands for the release of the poet out of the typist, the painter out of the handyman, the musician out of the radio presenter, the activist out of the bureaucrat. Artistic expression in a process of radical democratisation. Art in various forms from song to sculpture, from commentary to critique, from drawing to dance.

TAC attempts to bring the extraordinary out of the ordinary in a burst of creative activism. We take the side of the progressive and the voiceless in a firm stand against oppression.

TAC encourages people to create and recreate alternatives by utilising their artistic potential as their form of expression.

Art as a common yearning. Art as a dream. A unique project, yet within a situation or a system. A product that can become a producer. An allusion to reality, yet an inspiration for change.

We are not alien from the context that we live in, and our expression is one of hope, rebellion, radical democracy.

In the TAC website you can expect frequent updates. You are invited to express yourself in the way you deem best, whether through articles, photos, lyrics, stories, reviews, pictures or a simple quote. You name it, you can do it. Get cracking and send your material to  art_tac@di-ve.com
