The numbers suggest the scheme is having a real impact on the ability of artists to devote themselves to their work

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. They spent less time working in non-arts jobs and were more likely to be able to make their living through arts work alone. Not surprisingly, they experienced lower levels of material deprivation and substantially higher levels of life satisfaction.
