• Artists'
Professional Fees •
Artists
carry out many tasks in the course of their professional careers that merit
fair remuneration. The following are recommended fees for several common tasks.
This list is not considered exhaustive – remuneration for any other activities
requiring such should be negotiated. These fees are not associated with
copyright use, which would be charged separately. They do not include equipment
rental costs, travel costs, publication costs, insurance or shipping, or any
other cost associated with exhibition production – they are compensation for an
artist’s time and labour only.
