We would like to invite all TAFE Visual Arts Alumni to Join NAVA at TAFE NSW, Wollongong West for an introductory workshop to the Code of Practice on Thursday 12 November, from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm.
Location F block, 2nd floor, room S16
This is a free workshop facilitated by Shoufay Derz, NSW Professional Development Coordinator, with guest artist speakers David Cragg and Lizzie Buckmaster-Dove.
In this introductory workshop, you will learn about the Code, what it covers, how to access and navigate it, and when to use it. Through practical examples and discussion, participants will explore common questions faced by artists and creative practitioners, including: How much should I be paid? How do I negotiate fees and agreements? What should I know before accepting an exhibition, residency, commission, workshop, employment opportunity or other professional engagement?
The workshop will also feature presentations from local artists David Cragg and Lizzie Buckmaster-Dove, who will share insights from their professional practice and discuss how the Code of Practice has informed their understanding of artists' rights, responsibilities and professional opportunities. There will be opportunities throughout the session for questions, discussion and audience participation.
About NAVA and NAVA’s Code of Practice
The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) is a membership organisation that brings together the many voices of the contemporary arts sector to improve fundamental conditions of work and practice. We do this through advocacy, education and the Code of Practice. For further information visit www.visualarts.net.au.
NAVA’s Code sets out equitable, ethical and self‑reflective standards for the Australian contemporary arts sector. The Code has been endorsed by the Australian Government as part of the National Cultural Policy.
NAVA acknowledges and pays respects to the rightful custodians of the many First Nations lands upon which this online event will be streamed and received. We recognise all custodians of Country across all lands, waters and territories, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
