Ten fair pay proposals from six fairPACCT chain tables were in consultation and presented to stakeholders on Nov. 27. The reactions were positive, in one case the input led to a small technical change. So from now on these fair pay practice tools are concrete to use! That together with a number of studies on fees in the field and reference frameworks consisting of comparisons with collective agreements and guidelines in cultural and other adjacent sectors.
The practice tools
The practical tools include guidelines with rates and studies/products focused on primary and secondary working conditions. Where necessary, there are or will be additional tools or guidelines geared to the specific work situations of certain categories of workers. See below an overview of the practical instruments per chain table.
The chain tables’ practical tools complement the Nov. 16 national study “Fair Pay Closer” commissioned by Arts ’92 and supported by OCW funding, which took 2022 as the benchmark year for collective bargaining agreements and other pay guidelines.
Many sub-desk fair pay conditions have been open since last Friday, Dec. 1. The fair pay practice tools and surveys from the chain tables can be consulted here. More information follows at the bottom of this news release.

Many subsidy counters with fair pay conditions open since Dec. 1
We point out that the use of the practice tools by the field is relevant. After all, the counters for multi-year grants from the State Secretary of OCW plus various state cultural funds and municipalities have been open since last Friday, Dec. 1. At the state level, fair pay is a condition in the grant schemes. Institutions must subscribe to the Fair Practice Code and indicate how they comply with it. Below are some of the provisions:
– If an OCW-funded institution has not joined collective agreements on fees, such as collective bargaining agreements or fee guidelines, by January 1, 2025, its grant may be revoked.
– At the Performing Arts Fund, all applicants must have a remuneration policy with their grant application that refers to a (related) collective agreement or guideline and they must make their remuneration policy public.
– Applicants to the Cultural Participation Fund must show that the fee is fair pay. This can be done by demonstrating alignment with existing collective agreements on fees, such as the most obvious collective bargaining agreement and/or social dialogue between employers or principals and employees or contractors.
– The Mondriaan Fund requires applicant mainstream (visual) art venues to have an active and implemented policy, given the Fair Practice Code. Broad-based institutions must also have a roadmap with points for improvement. For starting organizations, they must endorse the Code, apply it to the best of their ability and formulate ambitions for the next 2 years. Furthermore, there is the regulation on artists’ fees to stimulate fair pay at visual art institutions.
– One of these days, the Literature Fund will present its multi-year grant schemes for literary festivals/manifestations and literary-educational organizations. The same goes for the Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie, which has collaborated with fairPACCT on fair pay. The Film Fund works purely with project grants, but it encourages, on the basis of chain table practice tools, comparative in-depth research into previous budgets and settlements plus chain table handouts by subject area, that applicants act fair pay starting in 2025.
