CVAN (Contemporary Visual Arts Network) is an organisation working in partnership with regions to campaign ad advocate for the visual arts sector at a national level. Alongside other creative industry partners they have commissioned the Framing The Future: The Political Case for Strengthening the Visual Arts Ecosystem campaign. This efforts states that the Visual Arts Ecosystem generates over £4.1 billions in exports annually, establishing the UK’s visual arts sector as a global leader and a vital part part of our national identity, creative economy and public life. Despite this value, the sector faces growing pressure, such as rising costs and declining education access to name but few. This new and essential report makes the case for investment in the upcoming Comprehensive Spending review in June, offering a renewed vision for investing in the visual arts ecosystem.
I was very pleased to be commissioned by CVAN to illustrate the report and visually conveying the pervasive aspect of our precious but fragile Visual Arts Ecosystem, to be protected at all costs.
