Leading lights support 10,000 signature open letter hand-in

We delivered an open letter demanding equal access to arts subjects for all children throughout their school life, signed by 10,000 people, including actors Juliet Stevenson, Harriet Walter and Sally Phillips and renowned classical music family, the Kanneh-Masons amongst many others.

Composer and radio presenter Jack Pepper, artist Bob and Roberta Smith and actor Jamie Kenna came in person to take the letter to MPs, along with many of the campaign’s coalition members, amongst them Equity, the Musicians Union and the NEU.
