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."
