About the table
The chain in the visual arts has many components such as training, development, production, distribution and off-take. In particular, the state has the financial responsibility for training (art schools) plus part of the development (work grants).
There is a decentralization allowance for visual arts to almost 40 large municipalities, which they have to match. For production, the focus is on the national government, but other governments are also active in this regard (projects, commissions and purchases). For distribution and acquisition, it is mainly the municipalities that are in the picture. This applies strongly to studio and incubator policy. Presentation institutions, art museums and festivals can be subsidized by both categories of government. Some provinces provide distribution through visual art centers and art loans. There is also a free market of galleries and art fairs, among others. With a view to fair practice and, in particular, fair pay, this large and diverse chain leads to multifarious activities and parties for the Fine Art chain table.
There is a Museum CLA. There is also a Guideline job and salary structure presentation institutions visual arts. The Chain Table Visual Arts can also boast of the activities developed by BKNL (Beeldende Kunst Nederland). For example, a first version of the visual artists’ fee guideline was delivered as early as 2017 with the support of the Mondriaan Fund and updated in 2023. This covers non-sales-oriented exhibitions and related commissions. Also, in recent years, based on available data, the so-called “collective selfies” about the sector have been realized.
But there is still more to do for the chain table. These include the further recalibration of Directive Artists’ Fees (2023) and the updating of National General Conditions of Art Assignments (2015). The table further aims to contribute to the Collective Selfie (2019, recalibration in 2024). Upon continuation of the chain table by 2025
may also include: work allowances/professional expenses, (socially) safe working environment plus conditions for rent and use of studios and incubators.
