Paying Artists: Securing a Future for Visual Arts in the UK
Submitted by Steve on June 6, 2014
A report from the UK, and the initiative behind the report, is working to highlight the flow of money in the art world and especially how little the artists receive. Paying Artists: Securing a future for visual arts in the UK states that their mission “is about transforming opportunities for artists, galleries, funders and policy-makers alike.”
In removing the financial barriers faced by many artists, it will give publicly-funded galleries and the public themselves access to quality art which covers the spectrum of human experience. It will bring value to the investment of all who fund the arts by encouraging and enabling diversity and equality of opportunity for all artists now and in the future. In doing so, it will play a direct role in ensuring we retain our reputation here for supporting creative talent and delivering world-class art.
