Celebrities including Jack Dee, Miranda Har, Katy Brand, Michael Sheen, Neil Gaiman, Jenny Eclair, Samantha Morton, Nikesh Shukla and Chris Addison have joined the #BreakTheGlass online campaign calling on those working in culture to help open the doors for young people struggling to break into the Arts. The comedians, writers and actors were amongst hundreds of those sharing the names of the people who helped them to make their breakthrough and encouraging their followers to support Arts Emergency, the award-winning charity bringing creative and cultural professionals together to open the door for aspiring young talent. Over 25 Arts organisations, creative companies and universities around the UK including The BFI (British Film Institute), University of the Arts London, the Eden Project, Get Up, Stand Up - The Bob Marley Musical, ATC Management and ATC Live, Avalon and The Agency, FCB Inferno, Rankin, Framestore, Company 3 and Linkedin also joined the campaign to show their support as the stats show that so much more is needed to open the creative industries to marginalised voices. The odds of getting into a creative job are significantly lower if you are Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background, from a working-class background, female, disabled or living outside of London and the South East. In fact, people from privileged backgrounds are four times more likely to land in a creative occupation, and the likelihood of someone from a working-class background finding work in a creative career has remained largely unchanged since 1980.
