Do you agree that artists should be paid?

ASK PrintShow that you agree that equitable payments for visual artists are of prime importance. In VAI it is a core belief that equitable payments for visual artists are of vital importance for the sustainability of visual artists in Ireland.

Visual Artists Ireland’s campaign Ask! Has the Artist Been Paid! has been a great success. Support has been shown by The Arts Council, The Artists Council of Northern Ireland, and Dublin City Council, and an incredible number of organisations, venues, festivals, and events…

We ask you now to to show your support for the campaign and support our work to ensure that all organisations working with Visual Artists in Ireland implement this policy as a core value.

The following “Petition” will be published and circulated to show the extent of the support and to guide those organisations and individuals who are still to be convinced.

Sometimes we can leave things for others to do, but we ask that you sign now… every individual is important in this on-going campaign… and it is individuals who are making the change.
