As part of the Fair and Equitable pilot phase, we conducted a survey of individuals, inviting artists and arts workers from underrepresented and marginalised communities (specifically individuals who identify as part of Global Ethnic Majorities, disabled and neurodivergent, LGBTQI+ and working-class communities) to share their views and experiences of the visual arts sector.
The survey helped to map the needs and experiences of individuals from underrepresented and marginalised communities working in the visual arts sector. The findings will play an important part in shaping the development of the Fair and Equitable programme. Information collected will help us identify how the sector needs to shift to establish more fair and equitable practices in issues including: recruitment, retention and progression; education and professional development; governance and infrastructure within artistic and education institutions.
The programme team analysed survey results with a working group of artists and arts workers from across England, from marginalised communities.
This survey is now closed, thank you to those who responded.
