More than 50 artists and creative arts workers were interviewed by a sociologist to talk about the changes that the BIA has brought to their lives. This report provides additional context to the data collected this far by the Department as part of the BIA research programme, including quotes from participants. Minister O’Donovan said that the research shows that the impact of the basic income is far-ranging and affects all aspects of recipients’ lives.

As the pilot ends, it’s important to hear from the artists themselves. I am struck by the stories collected in this report. This paper complements my Department’s research to date which shows that the BIA payment is having a consistent, positive impact for those in receipt of it. Artists are investing more time and more money into their practice, completing more new artistic output, experiencing reduced anxiety, and are protected from the precariousness of incomes in the sector to a greater degree than those who are not receiving the support.’

This qualitative report clearly demonstrates that the BIA has helped to sustain individual creative practice, boost ambition and creative outputs, as well as strengthen artists’ connections to their local communities. In addition, the pilot scheme has supported artists to secure more sustainable housing, address health issues, start families and even establish pension schemes. The findings affirm what the arts sector has long known: the deep precarity of the arts requires sustained, courageous support—support that not only transforms the lives of artists, but also strengthens the society they help to shape.”

The paper published today finds that the stability of the payment has significantly reduced underlying financial stress, has allowed recipients to devote time to research and experimentation which resulted in improved quality and opened new career trajectories. Recipients invested in upskilling and equipment. Recipients are also better able to take care of their physical and mental health. They report a sense of legitimacy and validation and mentioned the importance of ‘giving back’ to their community.

This will be of no surprise to any artist here on Bluesky but a new qualitative report has been published about the Basic Income for Artists pilot in Ireland and it turns out that the impact has been far-ranging and has affected all aspects of artists' lives

Hello Bluesky folks.
I’m coming to the U.K. in May and would love to play at your house gig, barn gig, field gig or anywhere else. Give me a shout if there is some experimental solo cello missing from your life/line up (15th-20th)

Hello Coy!! (and everyone else 😀)
