Help us build a clearer picture of pay and conditions for arts workers
Performing Arts Forum and First Music Contact, together with other arts resource organisations, are continuing our work to advocate for fairer, more sustainable careers across the cultural sector. Your participation in this survey is essential.
The more responses we receive, the stronger the evidence base we can bring to Government, funders and partners.

If you see yourself primarily as an arts worker, please complete this survey. If you see yourself as mainly an artist, please follow this link to the survey tailored for you https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Payscales2025_PAF_Artists
We anticipate that this year the research will highlight the chronic under-resourcing of the sector resulting in the precarity experienced by artists, arts workers and arts organisations, unmanageable workloads and consequently the loss of skills, knowledge and talent as people leave the sector. The research results will be used to support advocacy for sustainable investment and to inform future policy and funding development.
We are gathering reliable information on pay and conditions for employees, independent artists and freelance arts workers. This means we will ask you about your income in 2024 so please have the information to hand.
All responses are completely anonymous and will be reported only in aggregated form. If you are unsure of an exact figure, please give your best estimate.
This survey should take you about 20 minutes to complete.
The deadline for responses is 5pm on Friday 19th December
The results will be published early in the New Year.
