Belgium 2.3

The socio-economic position of artists — and by proxy, of cultural professionals in similar working conditions — has been a prominent subject of debate in the cultural field in Flanders and Brussels over the past years (and will probably continue to be so in the coming years, as the COVID-19 crisis reinvigorated the debate).[1] Extensive research[2] — conducted with government support — has given insight into the working conditions of artists in Flanders and Brussels. Their situation is often one of multiple job holding, a combination of different social security schemes, informal and short-term labour agreements, and wages that are lower... read more →

Holy See 7.2.1

One of the aims of the Pontifical Council for Culture is to support artistic creation in all fields. Recent years have seen an increase in artistic commissions by the dioceses. The main obstacles to creativity in this area are the lack of sufficient dialogue between artistic movements and those in charge of the Church's pastoral activities, and the difficulty in raising funds. A study is being made on the possibility of preparing a padiglione of the Holy See for the Venice Biennale, inviting affirmed artists to participate. Also, for the tenth anniversary of the Letter to Artists from Pope John... read more →
