Creative Glasgow has been delighted to hear that proposals for an Scottish Artists Minimum Income are progressing, with MSP Màiri McAllan, Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic, announcing a Government commitment to piloting a Scottish artists minimum income initiative on 1st September! We look forward to continuing to work closely with Basic Income Conversation to ensure our members’ needs get heard in the pilot’s development phase. You can engage further in this work at an upcoming event taking place in Edinburgh…
Make the Case for Basic Income for Artists in Scotland
26 September, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop
The Basic Income for Artists Scotland campaign publishes its first report this autumn. The Case for Basic Income for Artists in Scotland pulls together what came out of conversations with hundreds of artists across the country, and they’re running a day session to make sure those contributors’ voices land properly and to plan what happens next.
The day is part workshop, part training. You’ll give feedback on the draft report, help shape the advocacy activity around it, practise talking about the key findings as a spokesperson, and work on how the campaign brings arts organisations in for the next phase.
