Abstract
This study reports the findings of the latest in a series of 5 surveys, conducted between 1983 and 2009, reporting the economic circumstances of professional artists. The surveys were conducted by Macquarie University for the Australia Council of the Arts. The data in this survey was collected in 2009 using the responses of over a thousand professional artists to a detailed questionnaire. The study uses census data to provide demographic information of the artist population in Australia and highlights changes since the previous studies, including a drop in the number of artists recording professional artist as their main occupation. Data from the survey highlights the income disparity between professional artists and the general population, with a mean average income of A$18,900 derived from the artist’s creative work. Survey data also highlights working patterns, time spent on artistic endeavours and career progression. Matters of financial security and income from non-arts sources are also reported. The study also highlights the contribution artists make with their artistic skills in non-artistic industries, and how digital technologies are changing the arts. The report is aimed at policy-makers, bureaucrats, arts organisations, artists themselves and the wider community.
Main Results of the Study
- Artists in general suffer from low income and financial security*The context of artistic practice is changing due to a more 'portfolio' style of working and also due to the ubiquity of digital technology*Financial security of professional artists is falling*There is a decline in the proportion of artists under 35*Artists increasingly practice their creative talents in no-artistic industries*Women are more likely to earn a low income or be unemployed as professional artists, as are artists from a Non English Speaking Background and artists with a disability*The rise previously observed in the numbers of professional artists has levelled off
Policy Implications as Stated By Author
- Financial insecurity among professional artists is a concern* The copyright system may not be providing the remuneration needed to keep artists producing works
