Artists At Work: Rethinking Policy for Artistic Careers

Offering a broad definition of artists and creatives, the book offers a deep dive into the demographics of the arts workforce, their working patterns, the places where they work and live, and their education and training.

The analysis also shows the range of challenges confronting the contemporary arts workforce, and crucially demonstrates what policy can do to help.

Rich with empirical detail, as well as being clear and accessible, the book is essential reading across the humanities, social sciences, and for anyone interested in the arts today!
