MEASURING THE EXPERIENCE #16
In effect, the visual arts world is now experiencing an over-supply of artists, that is when there are too many artists chasing too little work. Although this will be discussed in more detail later on in this report, it is worth noting here that this will have a considerable impact on the nature of artists’ practice and the types of opportunity and interaction available to artists in the future.
In particular, it is likely to impact on the future policies and strategies of the arts infrastructure overall at a time when all arts bodies are seeking to demonstrate their commitment to professional practice and to making the arts more accessible to a broader cross-section of the community.
