In the recent Pulse Survey conducted by the National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA), nearly 40% of artists reported a significant drop in art working hours as a result of the current battle against Delta in Australia. Out of the 1,224 artists and arts workers surveyed, an alarming 81% earned less than $25,000 for the 2020–21 financial year.
NAVA’s Sit For An Artist campaign sends out a clear message – reaching vaccination targets is vital for Australia’s visual arts to have shot at recovery.
