Sadly, we are seeing this worrying trend across the creative sector. Time to act now to rectify the situation. The #SmartFund will certainly help.
🚨New report reveals the shocking extent of failing earnings for visual artists in the UK🚨 The report, by @copyrightcentre, @UofGlasgow, commissioned by DACS, follows a national survey of over 1,200 visual artists, photographers, and illustrators. Key findings: ▶ Median income for visual artists is £12,500 a year, a 47% decrease since 2010 ▶ Significant disparities in pay across demographics, with women and other genders earning 40% less than men and disabled artists earning a median of just £3,750 ▶ Over 80% of artists describe their earnings as ‘unstable’ or ‘very unstable’ Read the full report and our recommendations: #DACS #DacsForArtists #ArtistsRights #ArtistPay #FairPay #ArtistSurvey

Further findings from the Actors’ Earnings Survey - Income is less than the typical amount for individual UK workers and slightly less than minimum wage. - Low earnings from work as a performer are often subsidised by other income (‘day job’) & by other household members.
