The European Commission and stakeholders published a new study that sheds light on the status and working conditions of artists, cultural and creative professionals.
The study looks at characteristics of employment of artists and cultural and creative professionals in EU Member States with regard to:
artist status and entitlements
social security
self-employment
support ecosystems and alternative financing
artistic freedom
career development
measures countering the Covid crisis
The European Commission conducted this study in close collaboration with several sectoral stakeholder organisations:
Culture Action Europe (CAE)
The International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts (IETM)
On The Move
PEARLE - Live Performance Europe
Freemuse
Main findings of the report
The study makes it clear that it is mainly up to Member States to improve working conditions for artists. The study recommends that the European Commission should collect and disseminate good practice and inform Member States of policies and measures that are available to those working in the Culture and Creative Sectors.
