After six years of austerity, is it even possible to be an artist and make enough money for luxuries like bread?

Show Me The Money is a multimedia performance which lifts the lid on what artists do to make ends meet. It playfully mixes pop culture references, live art interjections and audience interaction, with interview footage with artists of different career stages and ages.

This show raises questions about the value of art and explores financial precariousness, how the money we do and don’t make relates to how we can and can’t plan for the future. By looking at how the dreams we have when we are younger can change and be affected by challenges in making a living, it has a resonance beyond the artist community as well.

Show Me The Money has been developed at Jackdaw Theatre, Battersea Arts Centre, Bikeshed Theatre and Rich Mix, supported with public funding from the National Lottery Through Arts Council England.

Ages 14+
