Visual Arts Coronavirus Impact Survey Results

Scottish Contemporary Art Network have undertaken a survey to gather information on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic from the visual arts community. The results where published on May 13 2020, and will inform advocacy with government and funders.

In the survey, more than a third of individual art workers reported they had lost all their income in April. While over a third of art venues and production facilities surveyed had lost more than half of their income. SCAN Director Clare Harris said:

“As governments across the UK begin to roll out lockdown exit-planning, we need to work hard for a recovery that will enable the visual art community to get back on its feet and continue to produce work that has a far-reaching benefit for our society.”
