Typical Rates of Pay for Visual & Applied Artists in Scotland, 2009-10
The Scottish Artists Union has from its inception been concerned with establishing recognised national standards in artists’ contracts and payments, as it is often difficult for artists to quantify the value of their work. We have therefore prepared some typical rates of pay which members may wish to use as a guide when negotiating payment for their work on short-term contracts, sessional work and residencies that are paid on a self employed status basis.
In 2006 we were instructed that our previous rates of pay document could not be updated or promoted due to competition law in Britain and the EU. We have therefore taken legal guidance to ensure that artists can use this new document with confidence and that it supersedes all previous SAU Rates of Pay information.
