Boost for Artists’ Income and Market Opportunity as Own Art Scheme Expands
Cygnor Celfyddydau Cymru - Arts Council of Wales, 17 March 2026 , Wales
Creative United’s Own Art scheme, Ein Celf in Wales, is being expanded to help boost artists’ earnings and address inequality, as new research identifies it as a ‘vital pathway’ for art and craft market growth.
Coventry University's recent report ‘Understanding UK Artists’ Livelihoods: The 2024 Survey’ highlights the scheme’s important role in generating additional income for artists, whose earnings sit well below the UK living wage.
