Culture Workers Day poems

You are the soul of art and word,
Of song and dance and beauty bright,
May your voices still be heard
And fill our hearts with pure delight!

May inspiration never fade,
May audiences cheer your name,
May every show you’ve ever made
Bring joy and honour, love and fame!

Flowers for artists

Flowers are the traditional gift for performers after a show and a lovely thank-you for librarians or museum staff. A big bright bouquet is applause in the form of flowers.
