VISUAL ARTS AND CRAFTS INQUIRY REPORT

IFACCA,
02 October 2002, Australia

IFACCA is pleased that its first D'Art report, on defining artists, was used in Australia's Report of the Contemporary Visual Arts and Craft Inquiry, a comprehensive review and analysis of the Australian contemporary arts and craft sector. The report contains several international comparisons of issues such as: status of the artist; artists' professional status and taxation; social security; resale royalty (or 'droite de suite'); and philanthropy in the arts. While most of the international comparisons can be found in Chapter 3 ('Valuing artists'), many other sections of the report may also be of interest to arts and culture analysts. The full report is available on-line, or printed copies can be ordered from the Australian Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts at [email protected].
