Working Artists and the Greater Economy (W.A.G.E.)

Working Artists and the Greater Economy (W.A.G.E.)

In case you missed it, the Whitney Museum of American Art has finally decided to pay each artist in the 2019 Biennial a $1,500 artist fee. This happens to be the minimum fee a W.A.G.E. Certified...

If the Whitney really wants to show the world it's paying artists it can get W.A.G.E. Certified and pay artists ALL THE TIME, FOR EVERYTHING, and according to standards nobody can actually even live on. We're not asking for much. In fact we should be asking for much more.

.@wageforwork to artists: (a) withhold participation in #WhitneyBiennale2019 AND (b) demand compensation for your dissent and refusal. Look at the fee schedule to bill the museum + letter to sent directly to Adam Weinberg || #decolonizethisplace #j26 || wageforwork.com/wagency/2019…

Everyone working to make the world a more interesting place deserves a living wage and benefits. 加油 New Museum workers! Smaller museums, residencies, nonprofits & collectives worldwide can start paying people fairly now by using free tools by @wageforwork & @NAVAvisualarts

What we want? A living wage for museum workers and an accountable culture industry that does not depend on the already wealthy for its workforce!

"W.A.G.E.’s fee guidelines won’t immediately revolutionize the way the art world conducts business with artists, but it has the potential to shift the way the art world thinks about equitable pay." thephiladelphiacitizen.org/t… @wageforwork @sjphil215 #Philly

“We can’t do what we’re doing without artists,” says Chaney. “We depend upon their creativity and hard work, so to not want to compensate them for that is just unfair.” thephiladelphiacitizen.org/t… @wageforwork @sjphil215 #Philly
