Het subsidiëren van personen die zich bezighouden met de productie van schilderijen en zich kunstenaar noemen , leidt tot onder meer de volgende verschijnselen:
01. de hoeveelheid aangeboden schilderijen stijgt kunstmatig tot een groter volume dan bij vrije werking van vraag en aanbod het geval zou zijn geweest.
02.tot de beroepsgroep treden toe grote aantallen participanten die in een vrije markt nimmer geselecteerd zouden zijn om de betreffende functie in de maatschappij uit te oefenen
03 het gemiddelde niveau van de aangeboden schilderijen zakt tot ver onder het reeds bedroevende niveau van zogenaamde kunst
04 De overheid komt te zitten met enorme hoeveelheden schilderijen van slechte tot middelmatige kwaliteit die door een leger van ambenaren opgeslagen en geadministreerd worden
AL HET BOVENSTAANDE GESCHIEDT OP KOSTEN EN RISICO VAN DE BELASTINGBETALER, ALSOF DEZE NIETS BETERS ZOU KUNNEN VINDEN OM MET ZIJN GELD TE DOEN

Grappig dat zowel jij als Hub opeens de kunst te lijf gaan. Je beschrijft een situatie die niet meer bestaat sinds de BKR is afgeschaft. Heeft Vrijspreker ook al last van komkommertijd?
Sindsdien hebben die contra-productievelingen veeleer last van een andere BKR 😉
Het is mij ook opgevallen dat er met een harde afgunst af en toe gesproken wordt over de ontvangers van kunstsubsidies. Ik denk dat men beter de pijlen richten kan op de verstrekkers van dat geld, in plaats van op de ontvangers.
Hier volgt een reclame voor 5 miljoen euro die voor kunstenaars in 2008 ter beschikking is. Dit is maar een greep uit de doos.

The Culture Loan
The first ‘grown-up’ credit facility for the creative sector! To date approximately 250 loans have been granted. In 140 cases a guarantee was given for a loan amount of € 5,000,000 in total.
WWIK
We annually examine the professionalism of thousands of artists who want to make use of the WWIK (The Income Provisions for Artists Act). Artists who want to make use of the WWIK must be able to prove that they have received art training or are professionally active as an artist. That is why Kunstenaars&CO has the legal duty to execute the professionalism researches.
Over the last few years, approximately 3,400 times a year, Kunstenaars&CO has conducted a review of the professionalism of artists who want to make use of the WWIK.

Introduction:Increasingly often we see artists working in locations which would not normally be included in the sector of art. The trend is unmistakable. Artists are moving out of their ateliers, studios and rehearsal halls into the world to do their thing somewhere else. Nowadays, not only do we encounter actors, directors, dancers, musicians and visual artists in museums, theatres and concert halls, but also in companies, schools and hospitals.
