Please have a read\/listen to the following NPR story reporting on\u00a0a\u00a0recent census documenting\u00a0the status of musicians’ lives in Austin, TX.<\/p>\n

“The Titan Music Group recently conducted a large survey and several focus groups of musicians in Austin; it produced the Austin Music Census<\/a> for the city. The census found that 20 percent of Austin musicians live below the federal poverty level<\/a>. More than 50 percent qualify for federal housing subsidies, and nearly 19 percent lack health insurance.”
\n~ Musicians Struggle To Buy Insurance In A City That Thrives On Music<\/a>, Veronica Zaragovia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here’s how to\u00a0listen to the full NPR report:

Many of the findings highlighted in the story echo those\u00a0from the 2009 MA study on artists of all disciplines — Stand Up and Be Counted<\/a> (the 2009 study be found at artistsunderthedome.org<\/a>). \u00a0MALC, along with our coalition partners, continue to push for all artists to be fairly compensated<\/a> for their work\/services.<\/p>\n
