my bands bassplayer now receives a artists payment from the government (whats the normal word for that) of somewhat like 400 euro a month, thats like the minimum unemployment amount. he has to therefor make a minimum amount of money a year with artistic activities. he plays in a few bands and teaches guitar. |

Well I'm a, um, a performance artist; I'm working on documenting my ten year work that I call "farting around on a computer", yeah, that's it, that's the ticket. And I need funding! |

Yeah, i wanted to apply for something like that too (for my painting-activities, i don't play an instrument). But i made slightly too much money with my mailman-job. And i don't wanna quit that either :-p I can always apply for the funding later if i really need it. Or you can also get funding for specific projects, like a book or something... maybe i'll do something like that later on :-) Was it hard for your friend to get the funding? Or did he just have to fill out the form and that was it? |

yeah, it's good, he wasnt any good at 'normal' jobs anyway. there's always discussion on these funding things, because people get, of course, get kicked out of it eventually, like big writers and stuff. my solution would be that anyone could only get it for 5 years or so, and if you havent made it then, too bad. of course there isnt any making it in poetry and such, but then you've had at least had five years... ah well it's a crap idea. anyway i wouldnt want to have to play guitar all day. i'd end up paying my internet activities with it ;-) |

yeah you do that surrounded, prolly my luminous idea is somewhat how it works, and who would really wants always be on that wellfare for always anyway? i dont believe it was that hard, apparantly you cant make to much money allready as you said: i didnt know that was with other jobs as well. on the other hand he has to make money in the future with the specific art (playing in bands) he does. he had to fill in what the biggest five concerts in the last two years were and what in the future years. prolly a nice story too. you prolly have to be a bit smart at it: his gf got it once so she prolly knew how. but it shouldnt be to hard figuring out yourself that you shouldnt write stuff like you want to use the money to set up a project to get as many groupies and get as much free beer as possible. |

lol yeah ;-) I read the form. In my case i had to tell exactly what i wanted to do with the money, i had to make a photocopy of my artschool-diploma etc. But the thing is if i would have applied i would have also had to send them photos of my most recent work, and they were actually going to judge the quality of the work to see if i'd be worthy of funding. It doesn't sound like your friend had to go through anything like that, send a recording of his bassplaying or something. I understand all the criticism on the funding-system. But i think essentially it's a good idea. It gives artist the possibility to fully focus on their art. And the funding lasts for something like 4 years... and after that period you should be able to support yourself through the art... and if you still haven't earned any money after those 4 years... it's probably never going to happen anyway. So you'd have to find some other career. |

he probably had to somehow show his skills, he problably sent some cd's of the bands, maybe they thought him skillfull enough because he teaches art is more institutionalized with the art school paper you have to have, i think thats why my brother in law got rejected for the fund: didnt do that. what kind of art do you do? |
