Creative Impact webinar: Artist payment standards

A free series of expert-led discussions providing artists, creative practitioners and arts workers with practical guidance on meeting good practice standards.

Join this session to learn about the industry standards and equitable pay structures across creative disciplines that ensure artists receive fair remuneration for their work.

Led by Emma Pham, NSW professional development coordinator at the National Association for Visual Arts (NAVA), the session explores:

• how to use the Code of Practice for Visual Arts, Craft and Design payments standards section

• useful tips on shaping all artist-related costs in your budget while supporting artists at various stages of their careers.

• how to advocate for your worth as an artist/artworker and quote to industry standard

You’ll also hear from Sarah Rose, associate curator and executive assistant at Artspace, about how they have used this code in practice.

A reference guide for how to use the Code of Practice for Visual Arts, Craft and Design payments standards section developed in partnership with NAVA is provided for participants.

Registration is essential. A Zoom link will be emailed to you before the webinar.

Presented by the City of Sydney in partnership with NAVA.
