Visual Arts Industry Guidelines Research Project (VAIGRP)
Ideas for Policy and Legislation Papers
Tamara Winikoff and Terry Smith
June 2001
The ideas in this paper were one of the outcomes of three years of study and discussion by the Visual Arts Industry Guidelines Research Project (VAIGRP) partners and researchers, exploration of international models and broad and thorough consultation with hundreds of people involved in all aspects of the visual arts and craft in Australia.
A major finding of the project was the need for a better understanding of the value that visual artists and craftspeople contribute to Australia, both culturally and economically and ways this can be better facilitated. A set of research papers was produced from which a number of recommended priorities for policy and legislation have been drawn and elaborated in this paper.
