We’ve created this discussion document (see below) to continue the conversation about what the research findings from 'A Profile of Creative Professionals' mean. We want to explore how we can work with the Government (central and local), the arts sector and other stakeholders (including funders) to advance more sustainable careers for artists and arts practitioners.

Let us know your thoughts by 31 October 2019.
