National cultural dialog defines artists' wages
The National Cultural Dialogue has adopted recommendations and good practices on appropriate compensation for cultural professionals.
On the one hand, the recommendations for the funding bodies aim to take the existing guideline tariffs into account when assessing funding applications and to apply them to all phases of cultural creation. Secondly, the professional associations should provide information on appropriate compensation for creative artists and raise awareness.
In 2021, the National Cultural Dialogue set up a working group on the topic of "Compensation for artists". Its aim was to develop a coherent practice for the compensation of artists by the municipalities, cities, cantons and the federal government that takes into account the interests of artists and their entitlement to appropriate compensation.
