I’ve been to a few shows / exhibitions by artists in receipt of it. I’m not an artist myself but I think it’s a great idea and am very happy to see my taxes used to add a bit of joy or interesting-ness into the world.

Wow, people enjoy getting free money. Stop the presses. I don’t know what’s more insulting, the fact that the government needed a study to figure this out or the fact that they’re now trying to cast this as a return on investment for the taxpayers who are footing the bill.
I really hope this gets expanded soon, these AI times is putting huge pressure on artists.

Honestly, it just needs to be a separate category for social welfare.
These people are self employed and may have no work for months or loads of shows within a small timeframe. It makes much more sense for them being able to sign on and off cleanly resulting in less admin for social welfare employees rather than adding to the pile of paper work and taking employees away from the admin of people signing up on the main welfare.
It’s a great scheme. I’m glad to see my taxes go to something worthwhile, rather than greyhound racing or a single bike shed
