NICC Membership
NICC is a non-profit artists initiative run by and for artists, it is founded by professional visual artists in order to advocate their rights. Our aim is to set up a qualitative social framework within which the autonomous artistic practice can develop professionally.
NICC functions as a mediator between the artists and the government, art organizations, and other actors in the cultural field. In addition to a program of social actions, reflection, and research, the NICC presents an artistic program of lectures, exhibitions, symposiums, and presentations on contemporary professional practice.

Why, after 15 years of artist's statute in Belgium - originated from the desire to offer artists better juridical & economical protection - the statute is still an unknown and unused instrument amongst visual artists?
Which solutions are there to make the existing statute more suitable for visual artists? Or would it not be better to search radically for new instruments and models? Which inspirationals model do neighboring countries offer?
Invited by artist's initiative NICC, who helped realise the artist's statute 15 years ago, artists, experts & the public discuss in the art work De Nor by Dennis Tyfus the sense and nonsense of the statute today and tomorrow. Or are there more effective ways to counteract the precarious financial & juridical position of the individual artist?
With the proposals made by artists, NICC wants to engage in debate with policy makers.
