We explore why this kind of research is so necessary in an art world that often operates in silos, where artists’ voices are too often left out of larger conversations. Charlotte and Julia walk us through how the report came together, unpack some of its most surprising findings, and reflect on what the broader art world can do to better support artists moving forward.
