Having been away for 10 days, and having kept a journal, of sorts, of my experiences, I would like to include some extracts here. But first to put my ‘get-away’ into context: I was offered a residency at *Brisons Veor, […]

Here she talks to Andrew Bryant about Goldsmiths, blogging and being on the outside.
Well, great news – have just got of the phone to organhaus after a week of trying to get in contact. They are an art space in Chongqing – I am hoping to spend a month or so there – […]
Working away, developing ideas, rewards at home In the period since I returned from Schiedam I’ve been busily responding to open calls for residencies and exhibitions. The realisation of Motus:Immotus in Schiedam has brought me to the realisation that this […]
A-N’s residencies toolkit is really useful. I’m using it as a checklist to draw up an outline for my planned upcoming residency. Although I’m not against creative, loose verbal agreements, I think it’ll be good to have a few stakes […]

The key finding of this study reveals that shockingly few individual artists apply for funding in their own right, and even fewer are successful. What this means is that there is little direct funding being given to artists to pursue and develop their own projects, under their own control – under 20% of available funding for the visual arts in England, 14% for Northern Ireland and around 18% for Scotland and Wales in 2009-2010.

Is there enough funding going to individual artists and are the application processes user-friendly? These were questions a-n set out to answer in the fourth issue of what was then Artists Newsletter in 1980. Now, thirty one years later, we asked Dany Louise to do this research again, examining the current state of play for grants to individual artists as offered by Arts Council England, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Arts Council of Wales and Creative Scotland – including comparators of volumes of artists applying and success rates – and to ascertain whether a “fair share” has been getting into the hands of artists to develop their practice.
