Arts funding: why so many artists don't apply for the money. Dany Louise introduces a report she wrote on arts funding that reveals some surprising statistics.
"The key finding is that surprisingly few individual artists apply for money in their own right and even fewer are successful. In England, less than 5% of artists apply in their own name every year and of those, less than 2.5% are successful. This means that there is little direct funding being given to artists to pursue and develop their own projects, under their own control: under 20% of available funding for the visual arts in England, 14% for Northern Ireland and around 18% for Scotland and Wales in 2009-2010." http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture-professionals-network/culture-professionals-blog/2011/nov/04/arts-funding-artists-dont-apply _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
