Abstract

In this paper the findings of an exploratory study are presented. The study was initially planned as part of a proposal for an EU project, with the universities of Poznan, Westminster, Valencia, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the University of Macedonia (Thessaloniki) as partners, but it was finally developed as an independent research, part of which is still in progress. This study concerns the artistic labor markets during the current economic recession and places particular emphasis on young artists. The paper, after complementary editing and review, was published as a chapter in a collective volume (see more details here).
