A key aspect of ARABELLA’s mission is supporting the career development of creative talents in the arts and culture sectors. In today’s rapidly evolving art world, understanding the real challenges artists face has never been more essential. The Creative Pathways Survey is an ARABELLA research initiative created to bring clarity and actionable insights into the unique needs of artists today – from financial stability to the effects of digital platforms and technology shifts.

For Artists

As an artist, your experiences are essential to this survey. This is your chance to share the realities of your creative journey—whether it’s balancing financial stability with artistic freedom, navigating social media, or adapting to new technologies like AI. By sharing your insights, you’re helping shape the kinds of support, resources, and community connections that will empower you and other artists to thrive.

For Art Supporters

We’re inviting galleries, associations, and arts organizations to partner with us in promoting and supporting this important research. Your role is vital: by supporting this survey, you are helping uncover the key insights that will guide future resources and programs to better serve the arts community.
