How to Navigate a Contemporary Art Gallery: Tips for First-Time Visitors

The Organization for the Democratization of the Visual Arts (ODBK) advocates for a fairer art market by involving artists, institutions, and art lovers in decision-making. Their manifesto proposes the Art Market Regulation Commission (AMARC) to oversee artist selection, artwork pricing, and public fund distribution, aiming to democratize the art world and ensure equitable opportunities for all participants. #ArtDemocracy #VisualArts #ArtManifesto #CreativeEquality #ArtMarketReform #ArtistsUnite #ArtCommunity #DemocratizeArt #FairArtWorld #ArtForAll

📌 Artists and arts professionals sign letter to UK Department for Culture, Media, and Sport (DACS / a-n The Artists Information Company / CVAN ) In the short term, the group is “asking the new government to consider short-term policy recommendations including: - the introduction of the Smart Fund, a private copying scheme that could generate around £300 million/ year in copyright revenues for creatives and visual artists. - the appointment of a Freelancer Commissioner to advocate for the working rights of freelancers in the visual arts sector and across the creative industries. […] In the longer term, the group calls for the extension of the Museum and Galleries Exhibition Tax Relief, a new Creative and Cultural Agreement with the EU, and planning reforms to incentivise the creation of artists’ studios and creatives spaces. In addition to economic support, the manifesto calls for a curriculum that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and empathy, stressing the importance of investing in creative education. It advocates for the integration of visual literacy into the national curriculum at Key Stage 2 and ensuring every school child visits a cultural organisation every year.” 🔖 CVAN coverage: https://lnkd.in/eVUiAqpn 🔖 Official letter and signatories: https://lnkd.in/eJpeuHe6 #artistsworkrights

The UK’s visual arts sector calls for sustained support from the government to maintain its contribution to the UK's creative economy. 📢 We've joined more than 4,000 arts professionals and artists in signing an open letter to Lisa Nandy MP, the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. The letter urges the government to take steps in supporting the visual arts sector, as per the recommendations of the Visual Arts Manifesto proposed by Art Fund and 23 other arts organisations earlier this year. The letter puts forward three of our key policy asks: • To ensure every school child visits a cultural organisation every year • To protect free entry to museums and galleries • To expand the Museum and Gallery Exhibition Tax Relief The letter and manifesto were highlighted by The Guardian this weekend: https://bit.ly/4gbEio9 📝 Read the letter: https://bit.ly/3ZbLavE

There's a room in which arts funding dwells, and in that room is a table. Around that table, sit a group of regular faces, able to make their art through regular funding support. There are others in the room, who sometimes get to sit at the table. And there are the rest. Those who know there's a room, and know where the door is, but don't have a key to get in. Then there are those who can see the room, perhaps from a distance, but can't find the door. And then there are those who don't even know the room exists. While there is funding available through Creative Australia, etc., most people who make art in Australia have never had any support from any of the funding bodies. Sometimes it's because many people who make art don't know how to access that funding. Often it's simply because it's outside their skill set to write the right grant application.

Here is a perfect example of why it is so so so hard to become a successful artist, by being a good artist. "I represent a PR firm, we are working on an article, "Top 10 Visionary Artists to Follow," where you can feature to boost your online presence and attract more fans. This article will go live in October 2024 in an exclusive magazine, "MSN,” which has 550M+ monthly readers. You'll be featured alongside 9 other esteemed artists, and the article will include a 100-word paragraph highlighting your unique artistic vision, creative journey, and inspirations. We are selling each spot for 500 USD." Surely an article about top 10 visionary artists to follow, should be based on merit and not who can afford to pay for a spot. Maybe an artist who has done 30+ international gallery shows... an artist who has bridged the physical and digital art world and sold over $2million worth of NFTs... an artist who has taken that experience and built a social networking platform for other artists to find connections and opportunities... *cough CreateScene cough*... maybe an artist who has spent almost 2 decades promoting mental health and art therapy with Art Is The Cure CIC... I'm not tooting my own horn here, but I would put myself up against any artist as a visionary, a leader and an innovator. I'm not going to pay to be on that list but if you want to write a story about an artist who is worthy of that list based on merit and effort and compassion, give me a call. www.richsimmonsart.com
