Arts Research Digest has kindly allowed IFACCA to reproduce on-line Phyllida Shaw's multi-country analysis of research into artists' working lives. The article, 'Researching Artists' Working Lives', appeared as a special 'lift-out' in the Spring 2004 issue of Arts Research Digest. The article provides an overview of major research into the working lives and working conditions of artists, and outlines a number of issues raised by this research. The article makes the following call for comments and feedback: 'Have you recently commissioned work on any of the subjects covered here? Are you working on a study now? What gaps in research would you like to see filled?' If you can help with any of these questions, email Arts Research Digest at [email protected], giving Artists' Working Lives as the subject title.
