A survey for Creative Australia reveals men outnumbered two to one with the split rising to four to one in the literary scene
A portrait of an artist as a young man is more likely to be a portrait of an artist as a middle age-woman in Australia today.
By 2001 the average total income of men artists was still 57% higher than that of women, reducing to 38% in 2008, and 32% in 2015. “We need to ask ourselves in the arts, do we actually trust women to lead and deliver large scale, ambitious boundary pushing digital works?” she said. “If we do then we must reward this risk taking with fair remuneration and less road blocks”.
But 47% of female artists who had caring responsibilities said they felt children restricted their work as artists, compared to 17% of males. The average income for a professional practising artist in 2021-2022, taking into accoount all streams of income including non arts-related work, was $54,500.
