UNESCO is undertaking a review of the implementation of the UNESCO 1980 Recommendation concerning the Status of the Artist in order to collect data regarding the regional, national and global status of artists. The results will feed a consolidated report to be presented to the UNESCO General Conference in 2015. A Survey is being sent to all UNESCO Member States as well as Non-Governmental Organizations and other civil society organizations.
