BREAKING THE BARRIERS TO ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE
ARTS + DISABILITY FACTS IN AUSTRALIA
Recent research has shown that although artists with disability are contributing 20% higher in participation rates, they are earning 50% less on average for their creative & arts related work than artists without disability.
A disability pay gap that has alarmingly grown 900% worse since 2007/08 when it was only 5%!
OUR MAIN BARRIERS:
