A Balancing Act: Artists' Labour Markets and the Tax and Benefit System

This book presents findings from a series of focus group sessions with practising artists which explored their experiences of employment - both in artistic practice and in other fields. The artists discussed the impact of UK tax and social security policy and practice on their career and business choices, and their ability to sustain viable professional lives.
