Kunstenaarshonorarium - Guideline for Artists Fees
The aim of the following guideline is to pay artists for the work they do for the purpose of exhibitions and other presentations, apart from their expense allowance. The guideline helps both artists and institutes and museums. Everyone who works within visual art, as an artist, institute, commissioner or as a representative of the sector, can make use of the calculation model and the checklist, which form part of the guideline. To this end, an online calculator has been developed. This calculator computes the minimum fee per artist per exhibition, depending on the duration of the exhibition, the number of participating artists, and the question whether it is a new or existing artwork that is presented. For any situation, the calculator computes the minimum amount from which negotiations can be reasonably conducted.
(From the perspective of an Artist)
Take care when choosing an Existing Work or Modification To Existing Work category in group exhibitions, as the first rate is hardly acceptable. Remember that you always adapt your artwork to a new environment where you exhibit it.
