Artist Krea aka Karen Cowley at the Alex Hotel in Dublin this morning for a press conference to discuss the Status of the Artist in Ireland and new results from first year of the Basic Income for the Arts pilot. Pic Stephen Collins/Collins PhotosWhen Minister for Arts Catherine Martin officially launched the pilot Basic Income for Artists scheme in 2022, she promised its outcomes would be measured against a control group of artists who did not receive the payment.

Recipients were also less likely to have been unable to work in the arts or to cite low pay as a reason for not being able to do so.
