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.
Platform BK kicks off the new cultural season with a three-day workshop on art, solidarity, and self-organisation in the Amsterdam art space W139 and surroundings on August 27, 28 and 29, 2021. Read all about the event and how you can participate below
