Press release:

From 1 January 2017, a guideline for artists' fees will be introduced in the Netherlands. Interest group Platform BK is one of the initiators of this guideline. The guideline applies to exhibitions with no sales purpose. The guideline aims to professionalise the contract practice between art institutions and artists and contributes to improving the income position of visual artists. The directive will be launched on 8 December and officially presented at a meeting in The Hague in early 2017, in the presence of SER chair Mariëtte Hamer and possible Council for Culture chair Marijke van Hees.
