Reference system for artistic remuneration in
Nouvelle-Aquitaine
#2022.02 version


BACKGROUND

The work of SODAVI in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and among them the exchanges on the economics of artists, have established the observation ofthe non-remuneration or the poor remuneration of artists by ignorance of the rights or by erroneous uses of the actors whether they are public or private broadcasters, communities.

The development of a regulation of artistic remuneration in the region has
thus been included as the priority project of the sector contract, signed in
June 2018 between the State-Ministry of Culture, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region and Astre, a network of actors in the plastic and visual arts.

Since 2019, Astre has undertaken this work, a consultation space has been
built to bring together the members of the network (artists collectives,
broadcasters, residency or production programs) and invite national
professional organizations to participate in the definition of this reference
system.

The CAAP (Comité pluridisciplinaire des artistes-auteurs), fraap (Fédération des réseaux et associations artistes plasticiens) and CIPAC (Fédération nationale des professionnels de l’art contemporain) have thus agreed to participate in the work.

Starting from the observation that the lack of social dialogue in the plastic and visual arts sector is regularly highlighted, this deliberately open working method was also part of a marked evolution in 2018 by the creation of the National Council of Visual Arts Professions (CNPAV).


OVERVIEW OF THE #2022.02 REPOSITORY

Already presented to its members at its General Assembly in December 2019, the Astre network makes public and accessible the 2020 reference for 5 artistic activities.

Consultation is now a "permanent project of the network. Its objective is to promote the evolution of practices and a better horizontality of exchanges between artists and presenters, private and public (galleries, associations, institutions, communities).

The Astre network will set up an evaluation of the progressive application of this new reference system with the professional organizations and public partners that support this project.

The reference system artistic remuneration in Nouvelle-Aquitaine will be updated and completed every year. The indicators it includes will be updated and additional artistic activities will be filled in.

This tool is intended both for the structure or the community that pays and
for the artist who is called upon to assert his rights.


METHODOLOGY USED

The definition of the types of activities was based on the specificities of the social regime of artist-authors.  The repository is accompanied by information specifying the framework in which artistic remuneration can
be inserted.

For each activity, parameters related to the reality of their implementation were associated for the calculation of remuneration (e.g. the different types of “public meetings”).

The definition of remuneration was based on usage, existing resources and from the threshold of annual income allowing access to all the social security coverage of the artists-authors’ scheme (equivalent to 900 times the average hourly value of the minimum remuneration).

NOTICES ON REFERENCED ARTISTIC ACTIVITIES

● Right of public presentation
Given the differences in the application of the right of presentation for works belonging to public collections (collective right) and works outside collection (individual right), only the right of presentation for works outside public collections is, at this first stage of the work, taken into account. This remuneration corresponds to a copyright for the exploitation of his work and is applied by an assignment of rights. It is distinct from the costs generated by the production of a work and the expenses of the artist(s).

At least 1037€ for 15 days | 1555.5€ for 30 days then +518.5€/month additional | At least 104€/artist | In the case of ticketing specific to the exposure:
proportional remuneration of at least 3%, provided that this remuneration is higher than that indicated for each caseabove.

Public meetings

3 types of public meetings are distinguished:

  1. Conference-type oral presentation. Remuneration includes preparation time.
  2.  Participation in a debate.
  3. Required and active presence of the artist at a public time without prepared intervention (for example presence at the opening).

At least 477.40€ ht per conference.
At least 292.95€ ht per debate.
At least 141.05 € ht per required and active presence of the artist at a public time without prepared intervention.

● Hanging-montage of his work / exhibition:
This activity concerns the specific assembly of one own work and does not replace the work of the exhibition managers.

At least 246.59€ ht the day | At least 147.95€ ht the half day

● Artistic practice workshop Information on salaried work:
When an actual activity is remunerated in a framework creating a relationship of subordination (defined hours, place and means of work made available, under the responsibility of a third party…), the activity is then the responsibility of the salaried sector (see legal information).

At least 65.10€ ht per hour | At least 520.80€ ht per day (The rate of the first hour is doubled.)

● Conception of his work, follow-up or execution of his work:
This activity encompasses all phases of creation: research, study phase, first project, realization, follow-up. The minimum remuneration amount amounts to 20% of the budget allocated to the realization of the work or works and may include all the expenses related to the project and the share of fixed expenses, excluding the investment budget (equipment, real estate …).

At least 20% of the overall project budget. This percentage should be revalued upwards according to the share of the time devoted by the artist to the conception, monitoring and execution of the work.
