Are you currently studying at one of the creative institutions in the Netherlands and do you want to be better prepared for your professional life? Now is the time to become a member of the Kunstenbond.
Get the first year of your student membership for free. Afterwards, the student membership costs €5,50 per month during the remainder of your education.
The Kunstenbond is committed to improving the work circumstances for all creative individuals in the Netherlands who share a passion for creating. A beautiful passion to us, but what about the reward? A fair income for all creators makes sense, yet this often is not the reality. We’re here to change that.
A student membership includes:
- One hour of legal support per year
- Getting to know the professional side of the creative and cultural sector
A GOOD START
At the academy you will not be taught about entrepreneurship and freelancing. But as a starting entrepreneur such knowledge is key. We can help you to get started with answers to the most important questions about money, income, value, risk, contracts, customers and taxes.
