Women in the Arts Survey

Survey questions

This survey is open to any woman working in the arts in the UK to complete until 15th June 2026. Results will be passed to the year long taskforce on the under-representation of and discrimination against women in the arts which Arts Council England agreed to run as a result of the 5 year Women in Theatre research project, which is the first time ACE has agreed to take action on this issue in the five years of the research project.
