Artist Research
As part of the Creative Renewal partnership funded by the EQUAL programme, Axis has been looking into ways in which visual artists from minority ethnic backgrounds work and develop their career in the UK.
Axis asked Morris Hargreaves McIntyre to explore:
- Current provision of support for these artists
- Artists use and perceptions of support
- How artists wish to be perceived in terms of their practice and ethnicity
- How artists feel they are currently perceived in these terms

What is Creative Renewal?
Creative Renewal is a programme promoted by EQ to make the arts and entertainment sector more representative of society as a whole. The programme includes research projects aimed at helping the sector understand what the barriers to entering the sector are and pilot programmes that will increase the opportunities available for people working in the arts, entertainment and media sectors.

What is Equal?
The EQUAL project is a part of an initiative for EU member states to work together to develop common solutions to common European problems. This sharing of information, research and experiences will hopefully create new ways to combat labour market discrimination and inequality in the workplace.
