ABOUT the directive
The Directive is a joint initiative of the visual arts sector to achieve fair practice in professional contract practice between institutions and artists.
In addition to interest groups, art institutions and artists, more and more governments and cultural funds are endorsing and supporting the Guideline. The Mondriaan Fund, the national cultural fund for visual arts and cultural heritage, the Ministry of OCW and the private Fund 21 apply the Guideline in the practice of assessing applications. Regional funds such as Kunstcentrum Stroom The Hague, and the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts, also endorse the Guideline and argue that it should be mandatory for every arts planning institution working with visual artists.
The Mondriaan Fund has budget in 2023 and 2024 for a scheme that encourages the application of the Guideline. Visual art institutions in the Netherlands that apply the Directive can apply for partial compensation for fees paid to artists. The Ministry of OCW has made a budget available for this purpose.
