Income and housing security amongst creatives in Aotearoa

Project Lead: Alex Woodley

The arts enable us to thrive. A vibrant arts, culture, and creative sector is a vital part of community. An investment in the arts, culture, and creativity is an investment in our wellbeing. So how can we build the infrastructure needed to better support and strengthen the creative sector?

In mid 2022, the Point Chevalier Social Enterprise Trust surveyed the creative sector to better understand the extent and impact of income and housing insecurity, and the level of interest in artists’ community housing and the Universal Basic Income (UBI).

A total of 516 creatives across Aotearoa answered the survey.
