Health check for careers of Australian artists
Australia Council for the Arts - 17 August 2010
Artist Careers, two research projects released today by the Australia Council for the Arts, paints a
comprehensive picture of the working lives of Australia’s 44,000 professional artists.
The two projects, respectively by Professor David Throsby from Macquarie University and
Professor Stuart Cunningham from the Queensland University of Technology, both show that artists
continue to struggle financially, earning a median income of just $35,900 a year – which includes
arts and non arts related income. Sixteen percent of artists earn less than $10,000 and only five
percent earn more than $100,000. Artists’ incomes have kept pace with inflation, but this rise is not
as great as for the general workforce. www.australiacouncil.gov.au

Investment delivers for visual artists
Australia Council for the Arts - 6 August 2010
A $90 million investment in the visual arts and craft sector has delivered significant benefits to
individual artists and arts organisations, according to a report released today by the Australia
Council for the Arts. The report evaluates the effectiveness of the multi-government Visual Arts and
Craft Strategy (VACS) 2004-2009, developed in response to Rupert Myer’s landmark Report of the
Contemporary Visual Arts and Crafts Inquiry in 2002.
The evaluation records the achievements of the 34 VACS-funded visual arts organisations
managed by the Australia Council’s Visual Arts Board, and is based on interviews with senior staff
from all state and territory arts agencies, state and territory ministerial advisors, senior staff from 53
organisations and 55 sector leaders. It finds that the VACS investment has enabled the Visual Arts
Board to boost funding to individual artists by 48 per cent since 2004 and state and territory funding
to artists to increase by 34 percent. Income from philanthropy and sponsorship rose from $3.7
million in 2004 to $18.9 million in 2008. Audiences attending events run by VACS organisations
increased 96 per cent from 2001 to 2008. www.australiacouncil.gov.au

Developed jointly by the Australia Business Arts Foundation (AbaF) and the National Association
