Visuell kunst – kunstnerassistent

The Artist Assistant Scheme provides funding for established visual artists to hire an assistant in a 50% position for one year, with the possibility of one year extension. The purpose of the scheme is to develop young artists and contribute to the professionalization of artists, transfer experience and competence between established and newly graduated artists, and increase income opportunities for both parties. The scheme gives newly graduated artists the opportunity to work as an assistant for an established colleague in a 50% position for one year. The funding is provided as a fixed sum covering the employer's expenses for salary, employer's tax, occupational injury insurance and administrative costs. The assistant's salary is based on approximately step 50 in the main salary table for employees in the state. The scheme aims to create good working relationships that benefit both the established artist and the assistant through knowledge transfer, mentorship, and professional development.
