The grant will be used to research how financial inequality puts people off working in the arts<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A CARDIFF-based gallery has been awarded a \u00a345,000 grant to explore how financial inequality prevents people from engaging with the visual arts in Wales.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the next 18 months g39, on Oxford Street in Adamsdown, will use this money to examine how providing consistent support to working class artists and art lovers could help their long-term involvement with the arts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grant comes from Art Fund, a national charity which supports British art institutions. It is one of 40 “Reimagine” grants announced this week for galleries across the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Mooney-Brown, director of g39, said: \u201cThis project is largely a consequence of the pandemic, which served to highlight the gross inequalities of our society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We were particularly struck by the precarity of arts workers and artists with little or no financial security.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
