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.
