We are aware that the UK leaving the EU will be impacting a-n members and the visual arts community in a number of different ways. We recognise that artists’ livelihoods will be affected by Brexit and the new trade deal with the EU, and we will be advocating for the needs of visual artists with arts councils and government.
This is a developing situation with many questions and practicalities still to be worked through. We have collated the following information and guidance for artists and arts organisers and will add to this as more guidance and resources become available.
You can also check in with the wider a-n community for advice and support from members through Blogs www.a-n.co.uk/blogs/ and Conversations www.a-n.co.uk/conversations/.
