The National Association for the Visual Arts (NAVA) announced yesterday (7 March) that it will pay honorariums to voluntary board directors who are artists, independent arts workers and/or First Nations representatives.
The peak industry body for the visual arts, craft and design hopes this move will set best practice standards for the sector.
NAVA Executive Director Penelope Benton says: ‘Underpayment and non-payment affects career sustainability for artists and arts workers, and the sustainability of the arts sector as a whole.
