Means Tested Exhibitions

Question Title

* 1. We would like your opinion on making our exhibitions even more inclusive for artists by amending the way we collect artist contributions towards the cost of our exhibitions.
As a reminder, all of our group shows are funded cooperatively. All artists exhibiting work pay an artist fee which goes towards covering the total costs for the exhibition.
We are interested in your thoughts on moving to a pay-what-you-can method of distributing artist payment contributions. This would mean that those who could afford it would pay more to subsidise those who cannot. This would make the system more equitable and offer those from the most marginalised areas of society an opportunity to exhibit for minimal cost.

Have you used a pay-what-you-can service before -for example for tickets to a talk, or entry to an event?

Yes
