Landscape Sketch of the Arts: session Fair Practices
Give your opinion and contribute to the Landscape Sketch of the Arts!
The Landscape Sketch of the Arts is a comprehensive analysis of Flanders' professional arts landscape that Flanders Arts Institute puts together at the start of each new political term. To make sure nothing is overlooked, we organise several sessions throughout 2024 to gather input from the sector, each time focusing on a different part of the arts field.
Flanders Arts Institute organised an open call for suggestions around un(der)exposed themes towards our Landscape Sketch, this sessions is one of the entries. Take a look at the other topics that will be given a place in the trajectory here.

Session fair practices
We all share the value of fair practices, but what does it look like in practice? It's time to take stock. We've been working on fair practices for years, but what about working conditions? What exactly do we mean by fair practices? What tools do we have? Are they working? What's missing? And is the way we view and apply fair practices accessible to everyone, or is much of it already outdated?
Flanders Arts Institute invites you to explore these questions together during this focussession to see where we are today in terms of fairness in our sector.

Participation
This session is limited to 20 people
We will organise this focus group with 20 participants. If we receive more than 20 registrations, we will make a selection with a representation of different profiles and disciplines. We therefore ask you to provide a short motivation in the application form, briefly explaining your knowledge, experience and interest in fair practices.
You are free to tell us about the discipline and position you work in, how many years of experience you have, whether you are still working in the arts sector, and how you see your identity in relation to different aspects such as class, gender, ethnicity, health and age.
It may also be interesting to reflect on particular issues that your knowledge, questions or experiences make your own fair practices.
We will contact participants no later than 7 October.

Remuneration, barriers and confidentiality
Flanders Arts Institute wants creators' voices to be heard more. For freelance artists (who are not on the payroll of an arts organisation and for whom participation is therefore unpaid) Flanders Arts Institute provides a fee. You can indicate this in the practical confirmation email.
Furthermore, we want to help address any barriers for participants, e.g. through hybrid participation for people who have difficulty getting physically on site, food preferences or childcare. Please let us know how we can accommodate you via that same confirmation email.
To enable a safe conversation, Flanders Arts Institute commits to keeping identifiable statements within the conversation and to anonymously incorporate these insights into the final report.
