A new report commissioned by the Arts Council shows artists are struggling to make a living in #NorthernIreland.

The study, which is the first of its kind in over a decade, examined 481 responses from a diverse range of artists across various demographics, career stages, and artistic disciplines, found loss of public investment for the arts, the short-term and long-term impact of #Covid19 and the cost-of-living crisis to be among the challenges which have shaped the acts sector over the last 10 years.

There has been strong government investment in the arts but further infrastructural support is needed to deliver the best return on this investment, and to maximise opportunities for artists and audiences.

🚨🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The Scottish Government is breaking its promise on arts funding, and trying to reimpose a £6.6 million cut to Creative Scotland. Scotland's arts and culture needs backing, not broken promises. Please join me in signing the @_CFTA petition. https://t.co/faBX5Q0at1
