Fee recommendations have proven to be a valuable guide for artists and cultural workers\u2014both in Austria and internationally. They promote self-empowerment when negotiating fees and are intended to prevent fee dumping. But they are also a political tool for jointly advocating for adequate funding for the arts and culture.

This effort has resulted in two position papers: a guide and a fee schedule. The accompanying FAQs provide in-depth information on the background and fee calculations.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guide focuses on activities related to exhibition operations and recommends base rates, for example, for participating in an exhibition or giving an artist talk. The fee schedule complements the guide and recommends hourly rates for a wide range of artistic activities, particularly for artistic production and the budgeting of personal projects. These recommendations serve as a budgeting tool for visual artists and for anyone who works professionally with visual artists.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Glossary<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <a href=\"https:\/\/igbildendekunst.at\/themen\/glossar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cPay the Artist Now!\u201d glossary<\/a> contains 68 terms.
