You're #opentowork, now what’s next? You are entering a space where you can define yourself as a creative professional or designer. What are you even? And what are the rules of the road when negotiating your value? Do you know how much your work is worth?
Join us for a conversation about the many hard lessons designers and creatives have had to learn about commissions, fair practice, negotiating and invoicing. Before doing work ‘for visibility’ or getting ‘nightmare commissions’, we’re here to increase emerging creatives' access to tools to build resilience for those starting their professional careers.
As part of the Dutch Design Week 2024 in Eindhoven, EUNIC Netherlands is happy to present the fourth event of its Fair P(L)AY series. DutchCulture helps host an action-oriented discussion on how to propel your (international) career as a creative or designer. We invite experiences from artists, practitioners, and cultural organizations. In the early stage of your design career, we invite you to listen, learn, and discuss your possibilities, needs, and ambitions.
FAIR P(L)AY #4 connects to Design Academy Eindhoven's Blueprints programme, introducing designers to the scope of creative practice in the Netherlands and Europe by involving local, national and international stakeholders who can share their knowledge of the wider systems and structures that design professionals can draw upon.
We make space for conversations about worst practices and learning and offer basic guidance necessary for international collaboration - where to find funding, networks, and legal support, vital elements not typically covered by education within the arts or design academies.
