R&D in Art

Industry Spotlight

How might an art company benefit from R&D tax relief?

In the ever-evolving world of art, creativity and innovation go hand in hand. Art companies constantly strive to push the boundaries of artistic expression, explore new techniques and captivate audiences with unique creations.
Research and development (R&D) plays a vital role in this pursuit, enabling art companies to experiment, invent and evolve. From exploring new art styles and materials to embracing technology and expanding marketing strategies, R&D empowers art companies to thrive in a dynamic and competitive industry.

Some examples of projects and activities that could qualify for research and development tax relief include:

R&D can be used to explore collaborations with other industries, such as fashion or technology, to create new and innovative art projects.

An art company can use R&D to explore new methods of creating art, such as new painting techniques or new ways of sculpting.

R&D can be used to explore new business models for selling and distributing art, such as using blockchain technology to create secure digital art marketplaces.

R&D can be used to create new software tools for digital art, such as new drawing and painting apps or new tools for animation.

R&D can be used to develop new marketing strategies to promote artwork and reach a wider audience.

R&D can be used to explore new ways of displaying art, such as using virtual or augmented reality to create immersive art experiences.

R&D can be used to explore the intersection of art and technology, such as using artificial intelligence to create art or creating interactive installations that use sensors and other technology.

R&D can be used to explore the use of new materials in art, such as using 3D printing to create sculptures or experimenting with new pigments.

Art companies may use R&D to improve the conservation techniques for preserving artwork, such as developing new methods of cleaning or repairing damaged artwork.
