Ireland's basic income for artists changed my life. Other people deserve the same luck | Caelainn Hogan A pilot scheme offering some artists €300-plus a month for three years is being made permanent. But should something so fundamental be run like a lottery, asks writer Caelainn Hogan

I don't love the lottery element of the #BasicIncomefortheArts scheme. But I don't buy the maths involved in cost v value. A 39% ROI? The fund managers would be lining up.

Ireland’s #BasicIncomeForTheArts grant is €325 a week. The #JobseekersAllowance rates there start at €244 per week.This scheme will turn people against the arts, not into artists, if not made fair and equal for all in need.

I share the opinion as pretty much any artist in Ireland; it is crucial that the BIA scheme continues and is expanded. This is just a poem about “why” for me. I’m not sure of the benefit of sharing this, other than I hope that one other person might feel heard with it.

I've written an article laying out my arguments for an extension of Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts. It crosses some of topics I've covered in other blogs, but I wanted to cover all these points in a single piece.
