Artist Fees

In response to activism by artists and based on research undertaken by NAVA in 2005 and 2006, a new scale of artists fees was devised and published in the 2009 edition of the Code of Practice for the Professional Australian Visual Arts Craft and Design Sector. In considering the changes required to the Visual Arts and Craft Strategy (VACS) funding, NAVA is calling for an increased allocation by federal and state/territory governments of $3 million per year, earmarked for the payment of artists’ fees. NAVA’s research took into account the mix of incomes and expenditures for an artist trying to get his/her work to the public.

NAVA is calling for all government arts funding authorities to require of their clients, the payment of artists fees at least at the minimum levels listed in the Code.
