Research
Join us in researching the structures in the arts that impact artists working conditions, wellbeing and diversity, and help campaign for positive change.
Each year Artquest works with hundreds of visual artists, as service users or freelance workers. We survey thousands more with our sector partners, and carry out formal and informal research into artists demographics, working conditions, barriers, ambitions and income.
All of our projects both directly benefit artists in their careers while finding out more about how they live and work. We use our research to generate insights into artists’ working conditions and the health of the arts workforce, without which the arts sector cannot exist.
