Last year, the Visual Artists' Association and the Artists' Trade Union, in collaboration with VISDA, designed a new scheme whereby visual artists receive an extra remuneration for exhibition activities in Denmark.
Now it's time to apply again. This is done through VISDA as additional remuneration for visual artists.
VISDA distributes copyright remuneration individually to the authors whose works have been used in, among other things, teaching, books, television, public and private institutions, etc. The payouts are calculated via reports from users, sample surveys or statistical calculations.
The scheme for additional remuneration is implemented as it is not always possible for VISDA to receive 100 percent comprehensive data, for example due to a lack of credit. The distribution takes place partly on the basis of statistical data from related areas, partly on the basis of a points system. Therefore, some of the money ends up in a pool, which is paid out to individual rights holders on the basis of a points system based on exhibition activity. The payouts will range from DKK 500 to DKK 10.000. A total of approximately one million kroner has been set aside for the scheme, which will be evaluated on an ongoing basis.
As a visual artist, you apply by entering data about the exhibitions you have had in Denmark in the past year. The more activity, the greater the remuneration. You can apply for the additional remuneration until 31 March.
