What 1000 Artists Told Us About the Their Careers: The New Visions Report, 2025
The New Visions Report has arrived. It represents one year of research, 1000 artists, and the clearest picture yet of what it takes to build an art career in 2025.
This report synthesizes the results of two surveys sent out over the course of 2025, with data analysis by Tim Schneider and reflection by Netvvrk founder, Paddy Johnson.
What emerges is a portrait of an industry that relies heavily on artists who self-subsidize their careers. Without the professional support other businesses take for granted—accountants, estate planning, HR departments—artists improvise, adapt, and somehow survive.
Whether you're an artist, curator, dealer, or other arts professional, the findings and the best practices detailed in this report will be valuable to you.
