Together with SOTA, NICC, The Music Guild, ACOD-Culture, ACLVB and SOFAM, we call for participation in the national protest for the Flemish and Belgian non-profit sectors, in Brussels

Culture, care and welfare are priorities in a policy that cares. We cannot separate these policy domains if we seek solutions together for a hopeful and just future. The cultural sector therefore joins hands with other publicly funded sectors.

We ask the Flemish and (future) federal government to create the conditions to be able to do our work well.

The social security for artists – the artwork attest – was finally reformed during the last policy period, but is now under discussion again. We are not going to reverse this essential link in the system now, are we? It is time for a positive vision of culture and its workers. It is time for ambition and investment.

Our demands:

Don’t touch the Artwork Attest
Provide the promised employment measures
Provide a budget for the VIA agreement that allows for a substantial improvement in wage and working conditions
Open the way for a policy that maximises all the sector’s strengths

Join us on 7 November, show your solidarity. Stay tuned.
