Since 1997, a government statute (Swedish Code of Statutes 1996:1605) requires the state to pay individual compensation for public exhibition of works of visual and applied art. Compensation for the use of the author rights of visual artists in the context of exhibitions etc. is regulated by a separate agreement (“MU-avtalet”). In April 2023, the government charged the Swedish Arts Council with the task of renegotiating this agreement with the relevant visual-artist organisations. The renegotiated agreement aims to be clearer and easily applied for both exhibition organisers and artists. The new agreement has been in force since the beginning of 2024.
