ARTNAM is hosting this discussion in partnership with the FNCC. The subject matter is a serious one and aims to reassess the status of the currently existing artist unions as principle representatives of the artist fraternity. To some extent, this discussion serves as a wakeup call for existing artist unions. More importantly, it is a call to the artists to realign their partnership with existing unions and assist at elevating their structures, or to create new bodies that will potentially fill the current void in effective artist representation.

The panel will include representatives of existing unions; local artists; representative of the Ministry of Education Arts & Culture and an expert with a legal and/or economical background.

ARTNAM is an organisation aiming to improve on the economic, social and creative surrounding for artists in all fields and genres.
