Platform's Study Room Guide
Take the money and run?
Some positions on ethics, business sponsorship and making art
by Jane Trowell, Platform
There are lots of guides for artists on how to earn a living from art or how to raise funds to support making it, but few which help us ask what the ethical implications are of the routes we choose.
In this Study Room Guide, arts, social justice and environmental group Platform has selected some key texts that they think are useful in helping to position yourself ethically with regard to financing or supporting artistic practice through business or corporate sponsorship.
The Guide can be read below, is available to view in our Study Room, or can be downloaded as a pdf.
A Reading Group on ethics, funding and art, facilitated by Jane Trowell, takes place at the Live Art Development Agency, May/June 2012. Information here.
