"Australia’s visual arts and craft workers are facing increasingly
deteriorating conditions, according to research published today.
Our four-year study reveals workers are abandoning the visual art sector,
largely because of unstable employment, below-average salaries and a lack of
support.
We present findings from the largest academic surveys of artists and arts
workers to-date – the first conducted in 2022 (more than 700 respondents) and
the second in 2024 (almost 900 respondents) – with income and employment data
from four financial years between 2018 and 2024.
Alongside the surveys, we conducted interviews with 20 artists and arts workers
to better understand hybrid career patterns – and consulted widely with
industry."
