The report is a summary of the "Visual invisible" project, which aimed to analyze the status of visual arts in Poland. The authors studied this subject from three perspectives: professionals (creators and decision makers), nationwide non-specialist press, as well as from the point of view of the artists' public. The publication was created on the basis of data collected during the analysis of existing publications on the subject, a quantitative and qualitative study of press releases, a survey among Poles and separately among the graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts, as well as through individual in-depth interviews with a group of professionals. The report discusses the most important results in the form of 10 theses on art, which answer the questions about what art is and if it is present in everyday life and the press, what is its role and function in society, and what is the situation of artists in Poland.
