“Ik ben lid van Platform BK omdat het ruimte schept voor debat en reflectie en dat is essentieel voor een gezond kunstklimaat en een stevig draagvlak voor de kunst.” • Steven ten Thije
Platform BK researches the role of art in society and takes action for a better art policy. We represent artists, curators, designers, critics and other cultural producers.
Platform BK has been committed to fair fees for artists since its inception. We are the advocate and co-initiator of the guideline for artists’ fees, which BKNL introduced in 2017 on behalf of the visual arts sector. The guideline aims to professionalise the contractual practice between institutions and artists and contributes to improving the income position of artists.
