Campaign

Money pays for everything.
Also for fair art.

The Fair Art Manifesto is campaign that supports fair pay for artists.

The Fair Art Campaign is a cross-disciplinary communication campaign advocating for fair compensation for artists. The campaign promotes fair practices from the artist’s perspective and raises awareness about issues related to the livelihood and working conditions of professional artists.

The campaign is part of the Arts Promotion Centre Finland’s programme for developing artists’ working conditions. National organizations representing both artists and art buyers are participating as partners in the campaign.

This website includes links to agreement templates, pay and fee recommendations and guidelines for artists and commissioners of art to help them price work accurately, negotiate agreements and budget events and other assignments realistically. The website focuses primarily on commissions, assignments and gigs, i.e. work that is not covered by collective agreements.

Artists receive commissions for their work because art is valued. The best way to demonstrate that you value their work is to pay fair remuneration to artists.
