Culture Works Canada wants to know all the ways in which you manage to make ends meet.
They launched a Canada-wide survey on artists and cultural worker revenues on July 22. Artists and ALL cultural workers are encouraged to participate.
Interesting findings from the 2023 survey analysis…
59% of people working in culture have 2 or more occupations.
There is a $26k+ revenue gap between those that have 1 cultural occupation and those that have 4 cultural occupations.
Between 0-2 years experience and 20+ years of experience, there is a $41k+ increase in revenues.
45% of artists teach and/or work in arts administration alongside their artistic practice.
They are looking for 500 participants this year to expand their sample. If you've already completed your tax returns this should be fairly quickly.
Can they count on your participation?
