Working as an artist is no longer what it used to be. Today's graduates working in the arts industry are more likely to be designing, painting or selling an idea that belongs to someone else. Art means big business in the current marketplace.
The art industry in the UK is based around several art districts, often in provincial areas with central, larger centres for dealing and exhibiting in London, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Liverpool. The UK has the second largest art and antiques market in the world: over a quarter share of the global and a 50% share of the European markets. The art market is particularly linked to the national economy, and job opportunities run accordingly. Click here for more about jobs in art and design.
