LUX has commissioned independent consultant Sarah Thelwall www.sarahthelwall.co.uk to write the following research paper 'Leveraging leadership into income growth, the LUX approach'. The paper articulates the value of LUX's role in relation to artists' moving image and shares the organisation's thinking about how this can be further developed through diversified income structures beyond grant funding.
From the executive summary
'One benefit of the current economic climate is that it sets into clear relief the need for arts organisations to diversify their income structures beyond public grant funding structures and private grant giving foundations. It also provides the opportunity for organisations such as LUX who have been leading the development of earned income structures in the Artists Moving Image (AMI) arena for a number of years (for both organisations and artists) to share the findings of their work and articulate the next steps for the sector.
This paper looks at how the models for the development of mixed income streams in non-profit arts organisations are evolving, how organisations such as LUX are leading these developments and the opportunities this presents for the development of artists moving image (AMI) as a whole and the potential benefits for the artists, commercial galleries and public institutions in particular.'
