Artquest exists to help make the art world more equitable for artists.

Working with artists across all our projects, we research artists working conditions, ambitions and career barriers. Using this knowledge, we work with partners and networks to make the art world more equitable. We advise arts organisations of all sizes on the best processes and practices to support artists from all backgrounds.

We use our research and experience in the arts to create advice, information and resources for artists. We can help artists at any stage in their careers, working in any medium, anywhere in England. Our website contains advice, artists experiences, opportunity listings, legal information, a professional network for artists, and a specialist art directory.

Our programme is open to any professional artist, including self-taught artists, who make up about 10% of the artists we hear from. Artists anywhere in England can send us a question about any aspect of their professional practice, free of charge. Accessing our website is free from anywhere in the world.

As well as our website, we run projects to help artists make their work more financially sustainable, to network, to get professional advice and take part in peer mentoring.
