16% for Art

16% for Art is a Pyramid initiative which increases artist development opportunities for the freelance arts team delivering Pyramid’s work.

Contracted freelance artists are paid for one additional day per project per term for professional development. In addition, contracted artists can apply to our Artist Development and Training fund to support activities such as training, attending conferences and workshops, or research visits.

Pyramid hugely values its freelance creative team and recognises that each person’s individual growth and development as an artist benefits the whole organisation. An artist who has time to practice, learn and reflect will bring all of those skills and experiences with them into their work for the organisation.

Here we share some of the work, learning and development that the team have undertaken with their 16% for Art.
