Housing for Artists

"Providing basic support for accommodation is, to me, one of the most practical, and necessary, actions we can take to support our creative community and ensure its members survive - let alone thrive". Shayne P Carter, musician and writer

Artists and creatives have told us that housing affordability and income and housing security are important issues for them. With many housing developments being planned, and international trials for a Universal Basic Income for artists, there is an opportunity to look at ways to improve income and housing security.  

We are undertaking a pulse check to find out about your experiences, assess the extent of this issue, and the interest, if any, in pursuing alternative models of housing and income stability. A possible outcome could be achieving better affordable community arts housing options for creatives in Auckland, and in other regions, or a campaign to trial a Universal Basic Income for artists.

We would really appreciate your feedback on this issue. The survey will take around 10 minutes. Please click here https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Artscommunityhousing or paste into your browser.

The survey will be open until Friday 22nd July 2022..

We know that you have busy lives and we value your thoughts. In recognition of your valuable time we'd like to offer survey participants the chance to win one of five $100 gift vouchers of your choice. The winners will be contacted on 1st August 2022 and the results posted on our website.

 If you have any questions or thoughts, please contact us.

Thanks in advance and good luck with the draw.
