This report provides a summary of the findings of an online survey entitled Understanding Diversity in the Arts. The survey was distributed through Creative Scotland communications channels and generated over 1,500 responses over the month-long period 30 September to 31 October 2016.
As part of the continuing work following the publication of Creative Scotland’s Arts Strategy (2016) - which called for greater diversity across all areas of the arts - the survey was undertaken to help build a clearer picture about who is working in the arts today and what the perceived barriers are to entering, progressing and developing in the arts professionally.
