🚨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’
