PROGRAM strategic UAAV.Plan 2009.2012
1. STATUS OF THE ARTIST An artist's secondment to the Social Security system financially affordable and sustainable, a tax treatment that takes into account the irregularity of their income and cheapen the work of art (reduced VAT), a general improvement in copyright equate visual artists with other artists, a scrupulous respect for good professional practice and access to formal education and continuous .. It is an election promise of the PSOE for the current legislature and UAAV has received financial support from the Foundation for Art and Law in 2009. Contact with the Minister of Culture, Ángeles González-Sinde, with the spokespersons of culture of different parliamentary groups of the Congress of Deputies, with the state federations of the other makers and journalists to explain the project and get to work together.

3. KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP, AND RECOVER THE JOINT INITIATIVE WITH OTHER GOVERNMENT estates. The Union must actively participate and make proposals for joint initiatives with the Institute of Contemporary Art, Galleries Consortium, the Association of Directors of Contemporary Art in Spain, the Board of Review of Visual Arts, etc..
4. RESCUE PLAN FOR THE VISUAL ARTS. In Spain in the last six months more than 120,000 self-employed have been discharged from Social Security because they can not pay the monthly fee. How many of them are artists? The Union was moving touch to the field of visual arts some urgent aid measures and structural changes to mitigate the effects of the economic crisis on the artists.
5. REPRESENTATIVE IN A FEW MORE UAAV MONTHS.
Rescue Plan for the Visual Arts
The global economic crisis is installed between us and it looks to be on time and with very negative results. Some say that devastating. An indicator that there are people behind the meat and bones in the last six months the difference between high and low of the Special Regime for Self-Employed in Spain is negative than 120,000 casualties. Self-employed workers who can not afford the monthly contribution to Social Security. How many of them are artists? Analysts and political leaders attribute the crisis to the collapse of the economic model based on speculative financial market. All point to the new productive economy as the only possible way out of this successfully. Within the productive economy the world highlights the important role of investment in R + D + i, on the one hand, and the creative industries or knowledge of the other. In fact, culture and contributes 5% of GDP, just below the sale of weapons or drugs.
Here and there are plans to rescue or active policies to support sectors or segments determinants. The eyes speak more distant support in exchange for deep structural reforms, changes to model.
Is it conceivable or possible to talk of a rescue plan for the Visual Arts? Would it be an aid plan should include cyclical or structural adjustment?
The visual arts are suffering badly the effects of the current crisis. This is partly due to general economic dynamics that, in times of lack of surplus shrinks investment in cultural and artistic assets. ARCO'09 balance is bittersweet. The fall was not as strong as expected. More symptoms: VEGAP recognizes a dizzying drop in the use derivative works of the image from the middle of 2008 or, put another way, a drop in revenue by copyright. But there are also internal factors such as the weakness of the collecting public, private and corporate in Spain, the progressive destruction of the productive / diffuser of contemporary art. The instability of the programs or arts institutions due to electoral vicissitudes and changes of government, etc.. In an industry like ours, with a high degree of economic dependence of the Administration, how we affect the upcoming budget cuts? What about the increasing difficulties of government, especially the municipalities?
Someone said that the moment of crisis is given because the old is not yet dead and the unborn again. The old system of economic productivity has not disappeared and the alternative model not yet in sight.
Even so, and if there is a strong cultural sector, in terms of production, quality and capabilities, in the Spanish State is the visual arts make it worth a bailout?
The referent of the New Deal
One of the most powerful concerning bailout in the cultural field, a situation similar to the present, is the New Deal of President Roosevelt in response to the economic depression of the thirties of last century. At that time the major concern was the strike that was installed as a serious problem and conflict at the core of the crisis. With instruments like the Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) or the Section of Fine Arts, more than 5,300 American artists (then the U.S. population stood at 150 million people) were eventually found work or hired to carry out 2,500 murals, 108,000 paintings, 18,000 sculptures, graphic arts workshops or photographs that documented all of these programs. They gave classes to children or community centers. Young artists like Philip Guston, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Mark Tobey participated. The powerful display of art from the USA after the Second World War can not be understood without the impetus of plans like PWAP.
Currently, the "Plan Zapatero" impulse to public works to create jobs, has injected this year, 8,000 million euros to municipalities in Spain. Only five municipalities have been taken down from the call. The House of Representatives passed a resolution to petition the government for setting up a rescue plan for the Self-Employed and the central government itself has just set up a rescue plan for SMEs entrusted to the Official Credit Institute.
The rescue plan from President Sarkozy to save the press in France has meant an injection of 600 million euros in a bid to offset falling advertising revenues and the significant structural deficits.
On the occasion of the launch of these plans is generating an important debate: Does the public support, government intervention has to be in exchange for structural reforms to prevent falling back into the same traps? And with respect to time: What is urgent? What does it make? And what needs to change from top to bottom?
Status of the Artist
Project: Status of the Artist
Introduction:Some neighboring countries have developed a text or set of laws known as the "Status of the Artist" or "Statute of the Creator" who come to regulate the social, business, tax and, sometimes, copyright of artistas de todas las ramas de la creación. Los ámbitos de actuación de este tipo de documentos o normativas pueden ser: – Trato fiscal del artista y de su obra – Adscripción al sistema de Seguridad Social – Derechos de Autor – Contratación y Buenas Prácticas Profesionales – Arbitraje – Formación reglada y continua. Algunos de estos capítulos presentan problemáticas especialmente acuciantes para la mayoría de los artistas visuales españoles que reclaman la intervención de nuestras asociaciones para conseguir cambios en la legislación y mejoras en el trato profesional. Pero la capacidad o competencia legislativa sobre buena parte de estos ámbitos en nuestro país corresponde al Estado en exclusiva y nada o muy poco pueden hacer las Comunidades Autónomas. La Unión de Asociaciones de Artistas Visuales es el instrumento que hemos creado las asociaciones autonómicas para afrontar los problemas cuyo marco de resolución es estatal o europeo. De manera que la UAAV tiene ante si el deber y la responsabilidad de afrontar esta problemática. De la misma manera, no hay que perder de vista que en general los “Estatutos del Artista” no se ocupan –solamente- del artista visual. Incluyen a los dos grandes grupos de artistas o creadores en general: los que trabajan de manera autónoma (profesionales) y los que trabajan a cuenta de terceros (asalariados), que requieren tratos fiscales y de adscripción al sistema de Seguridad Social distintos, incluyendo, finalmente, aspectos troncales o comunes. Los “Estatutos” afectan, por tanto, a los artistas de las artes escénicas (teatro, danza, música, circo), literarias, visuales, etc. Finalmente, algunos de los aspectos tratados pueden o deben de abordarse desde la perspectiva europea. La modificación de determinados impuestos (IVA, por ejemplo) o de propiedad intelectual requieren un acuerdo en el marco de la Unión Europea. Se da la circunstancia de que la propuesta de elaborar un “Estatuto del Creador” figura en el programa electoral del PSOE con el que concurrió a las elecciones del pasado 9 de marzo. Antecedentes (más próximos) en las artes visuales y proyectos en curso La misma UAAV y algunas de las asociaciones que la integran ya cuentan con experiencias y documentación interesante sobre este asunto. Hay abundante material sobre la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual y propuestas de reforma parcial (fondo documental de VEGAP y la Fundación Arte y Derecho), el “Manual de Arte y Legislación, UAAV, Madrid 2002” y el más reciente “Manual de Buenas Prácticas Profesionales en las Artes Visuales, Madrid 2008”. Las conclusiones de las Jornadas de debate Posiciones II, “La condición europea del artista visual”, UAAV y EVAN. Palma de Mallorca, diciembre de 2003. La UAAV ha realizado un encargo de estudio sobre el “Estatuto del Artista” a sus asesores jurídicos Brun y Guiu Advocats, financiado por el convenio de colaboración FAD-UAAV 2008. AICAV, con el apoyo de la UAAV, presentó una serie de medidas para modificar el trato aduanero de la obra de arte entre la Islas Canarias la península y la Unión Europea. La asociación de Catalunya ha formado parte de un grupo de trabajo –con los creadores de otras disciplinas- que ha concluido con el Informe sobre el “Estatut de l'Artista”, del bufet Bergos & Associats por encargo del Departament de Cultura i Mitjans de Comunicació de la Generalitat de Catalunya. 2007. La AVAM acaba de organizar las Jornadas “La profesionalización del artista” (17, 18 y 19 de noviembre de 2008) cuyas conclusiones concretaron diversas propuestas de reformas y cambios.. La Unión participará en la Convención organizada por la Maison des Artistes, (París 15 y 16 de diciembre de 2008) que abordará los aspectos cruciales de la problemática profesional de los artistas visuales a escala europea.

Una nueva manera de gestionar los recursos públicos en materia de Cultura: Un Consejo Estatal de las Artes Descargar
Tres décadas de democracia en España han transformado muy positivamente la Administración pública de la Cultura. A la descentralización del Estado con la recuperación de los Gobiernos Autónomos de las nacionalidades históricas y la creación de las nuevas administraciones en las restantes comunidades, hay que añadir la labor de los ayuntamientos. En este país nunca la cultura y el arte habían gozado de un apoyo y unos medios para su fomento, difusión y proyección como los que dispone en la actualidad. No obstante, esa realidad incuestionable se ve oscurecida por tensiones y dinámicas que deberían de superarse en aras de . El arte y la cultura -como los medios públicos de comunicación- necesitan, por una elemental regla de respeto escrupuloso de la democracia, de una autonomía que impida su utilización partidista por parte de los poderes públicos. La fina línea que separa la cultura o la información de la propaganda política se ha roto demasiadas veces –últimamente de manera alarmante- como para que miremos al otro lado. El actual modelo de administración pública de la Cultura está en crisis. A nuestro entender hay que revisar el sistema, aprender de las mejores experiencias de nuestro entorno y diseñar una nueva forma de administrar los recursos públicos y las competencias en el ámbito de la creación artística que traslade la toma de decisiones a la sociedad civil: un Consejo Estatal de las Artes La Unión de Asociaciones de Artistas Visuales apunta a continuación las características fundamentales del Consejo Estatal de las Artes: Primera. El Consejo Estatal de las Artes no será un nuevo organismo asesor o consultor, dispondrá de poderes ejecutivos en materia de creación artística y autonomía para determinar sus propias políticas, sus propias prioridades y los presupuestos de sus programas y actividades Segunda. El Consejo Estatal de las Artes estará formado por expertos, profesionales independientes y reconocidos por sus creaciones y su servicio en el campo de las artes, la cultura y las ciencias humanas. Sus miembros serán escogidos por el Congreso de los Diputados a propuesta de los interlocutores sociales y las organizaciones profesionales representativas de los distintos sectores de la creación. La composición del Consejo Estatal de las Artes se renovará cada cuatro años ya la mitad de la legislatura parlamentaria. Tercera. El Consejo Estatal de las Artes incluirá representantes de la administración cultural de las Comunidades Autónomas y/o de los Consejos de las Artes de ámbito autonómico que pudieran crearse, con la finalidad de fomentar la cooperación y colaboración y determinar los programas de proyección internacional de la creación artística realizada en España. Cuarta. El Consejo Estatal de las Artes se someterá, en todo momento, a la autoridad del Congreso de los Diputados que celebrará un debate anual sobre el estado de la cultura durante el cual evaluará los resultados de su gestión. La puesta en marcha de este nuevo modelo de gestión de la creación artística exigirá la redacción y aprobación, por parte de las cámaras legislativas, de una Ley del Consejo Estatal de las Artes. Documentación : – Proyecto de constitución del Consejo Estatal de las Artes y las Culturas (CEAC). – Estructura y Presupuestos del Ministerio de Cultura y de la Dirección General de Cooperación Cultural del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores.

2010 Budget Amendments
Amendments to the State Budget Ministry of Culture.
The Union of Visual Artists Association has sent the "Rescue Plan for the Visual Arts" to management and political forces. This is a set of short, medium and long term measures to alleviate the negative effects of the economic crisis on this sector of the building, laying the foundations for its revival and introduce some structural changes. Contemporary art, art in general, understood as a form of knowledge, can contribute to the generation of a new growth model based on the creative economy. In this regard, the draft State Budget for 2010, by reducing public investment in R & D, education and culture put us in the opposite direction. Maintain and extend basic social services in times of crisis is a good policy, but to reduce support for these sectors of the knowledge economy is a serious mistake that will delay and hinder the exit of the crisis and the emergence of a new growth model economical. The amendments proposed here should come of that bailout and raised on two previous assumptions:A. Reduced investment in heritage and files and use the resources available to some urgent measures of the Plan to Rescue the Arts. Priority is given, thus, support to contemporary artists through programs of direct support, avoiding medada-in-the possible intervention of mediators.
B. Cessation (or abandonment) of the proposed National Center for the Visual Arts for a new policy of direct support to the visual arts and the network of production centers. This center does not respond to any need or deficit. No one, in the field of art-has claimed. Dedicate, as noted recently, a production center for the visual arts obvious current programs and projects promoted in Madrid by the AVAM (Associated Visual Artists of Madrid), the municipalities of Madrid and Getafe dee and the region. These initiatives, as well as production centers existing visual arts in the rest of the state, making up a fledgling network, such as Hangar (Barcelona), Arteleku, Tabakalera (San Sebastian), labor (Gijón), etc., Need the support of Ministry of Culture. The Ministry is not to replace or compete with these initiatives, is to complement the economic effort that developed the other administrations.

State Support Program Visual Arts UAAV - Ministry of Culture basic proposals and developments.
On January 11, 2005, to mark the first meeting between the Minister of Culture, Carmen Calvo, and representatives of the UAAV, both institutions agreed to establish a schedule of meetings to address a "Program of State Support for the Visual Arts." A second meeting, held on February 22, 2005, with the director general of Cultural Cooperation and Communication, Carlos Alberdi, the Director of Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage, Julian Martinez and member of the Cabinet of the Minister for artistic matters, Curra Gamez, established the basic proposals and their respective developments under the following headings:
1. Increased resources in Culture and Visual Arts Resources of the Central Government for culture must be raised to at least 1% of the general state budget at the end of the 2004-2008 legislature. Similarly, the resources devoted to the promotion of contemporary art have increased in greater proportion to correct the neglect it has suffered to date. Beyond the necessary coordination and cooperation among the various public cultural policy and artistic and funding of the National Museums, the Central Government have to be involved in funding initiatives and arts programs at the state and international -given the competence framework, not supported by the regional administrations and / or municipalities. Documentation -

Proposal B:
Determination of public funds in the budgets of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008.
2. Creating a Fund for R & D in the Visual Arts Present and few "Grants for the promotion of Spanish art and new trends in the arts," convened by the Department of Fine Arts, Archives and Museums, and those granted by the Directorate of Cultural Cooperation and Communication have to become a Global Project Financing Production and Diffusion of Contemporary Art. This fund should attend, especially those projects and programs that are generated at the state level and internationally, similar to a program of R & D in the field of art. Another area of priority attention of the fund would support the new artistic practices founded after the revolution in information technology and communication in various stages of research, production, dissemination, distribution and international. We need a new protocol of relations between the Ministry of Culture and the creators (calls, resolution tracking, calendar, training, etc..) Documentation - Survey of current assistance organized by the Directorate General of Cultural Cooperation and Communication. Endowment, call, resolution in the past two years and prospects. - Study on current assistance organized by the Department of Fine Arts and Cultural Heritage. Endowment, call, resolution in the past two years and prospects. Proposal: - Study for the establishment of a Fund for Project Finance Production and Diffusion of Contemporary Art.
3. Effective application of 1% in contemporary culture. Contemporary art has included in the investment plans of Cultural Resources 1%. The Government must comply with the provision of the Heritage Act 1985 that, besides tending to the restoration and preservation of our heritage as contemplated contemporary creation. The performances of contemporary art have understood from a contemporary open design of the public sphere and recognize, in addition to the urban space and landscape, television and the Internet as new public spaces. The Interministerial Commission recently created by the Government is a necessary first step to ending the discretion and lack of transparency in the investment of 1%. Programs promoting contemporary public art must be regulated through calls for tender and decided by juries made up of experts and professionals in the art and urbanism. Law 16/1985 on Spanish Historical Heritage, established since its entry into force on June 29, 1985, that "in the budget of each public works financed wholly or partly by the state or public works be constructed and operated by individuals under the state administrative concession, will include a match equal to at least 1 in 100 of the funds that are bound state contribution to fund conservation work or enrichment of Spanish Historical Heritage or the promotion of artistic creativity , preferably in the work itself or in its immediate environment. " Documentation - Report on the constitution and powers of the Interministerial Commission of the Cultural 1%. - Report on the implementation of cultural 1% in the last two years and prospects for the coming years Proposal A: Study for the establishment of an Implementation Plan for the 1% in contemporary culture. Proposal B: Implementation of a fund to care for a pilot program developed in 2005 by the Ministry of Culture and the UAAV.
4. Improve tax incentives in the sponsorship and patronage of contemporary art (structural deficit) The weakness of private collectors / corporate contemporary art is an exponent of incipient visual culture in Spain. It is an indicator of the permanence of several structural deficits that persist in our society (effective integration of art and the education system or the invisibility of contemporary creation in the public media. The Law 49/2002 of December 23, of Nonprofit Institutions and Fiscal Incentives for Patronage to be reformed with a substantial increase in tax deductions for operations related to contemporary art and to encourage private collecting as one of the fundamental tools for creating and promoting a True art market. Private sponsorship to nonprofit entities (collectives and associations) to develop cultural and artistic activities is to enjoy the same deductions that the current law recognizes for operations for foundations and governments.
Proposal A: -
Study reform of Law 49/2002 of 23 December on Nonprofit Institutions and Fiscal Incentives for Patronage. Interministerial Commission: Finance, Culture and UAAV.Proposal B: -
Promote the short term, a partial reform protected by Article 22 of Law 49/2002 which states: "The State Budget Act (each year the bill has to apply the following year) may establish a list of activities priority of patronage in the field of general interest purposes mentioned in item 1 of Article 3 of this Act ... In connection with these activities and entities the Budget Law of the State may increase by five percentage points, at most, the percentages and limits the deductions provided in this Act ... ". We aim to raise the tax incentives in contemporary art at the 5%.
5. Raising the threshold to protect the copyright of visual creators. The UAAV coincides with the Government on the need to amend Spanish legislation on copyright. The reform of the Copyright Act advanced by the Ministry of Culture is an excellent opportunity to improve once copyright-proven successes and gaps in the current-TRLPI and move into the Spanish legal successive European directives. It is ultimately to protect the creator against abusive situations generated by the dissemination of their work within a market and a new context-that of the Information Society, in which the author-user enterprise relationships of these works is uneven. In the coming months the authors, through their collecting societies rights and their professional organizations, and government are challenged to launch a broad debate to sensitize the society about the copyrights. The basic line of the debate would have the defense of copyright without contradiction or to the interests of industry, nor the consumer. On the contrary, it is allied interests: the creation requires the existence of cultural industries in a regime in which freedom of action does not conflict with the law of behavior, the latter being understood as the exercise of activities within an environment of respect for the rights of all, breathed the definition of these rights ethics. Proposal: Study of the most important-from the field of visual creation, should be seen in the reform of the Act:
Amendment of Article 10 adding new art forms such as graphic design, video and electronic art.
Mainstreaming Participation Law Directive into Spanish law establishing the system of mandatory collective management of rights with the highest level of protection for authors who can design Directive and the right of way most socially, allowing extension to more authors.
Amendment of Article 25 incorporating therein a regulation that allows compensatory remuneration as a result of new forms of digital reproduction of works.
Article 32 Amendment of drafting the limit of the appointment in accordance with the Berne Convention Universal.
Article 35 Amendment of drafting the limit for works located on public roads in accordance with the Berne Convention Universal.
Establish a system for compensating authors for the free reproduction and lending of works in certain institutions provided for in Article 37.
Deletion of Article 56.2 (ex lege transfer the right of public display) as contrary to the Universal Copyright Convention of Berne.
6. Improving the tax treatment of the artist is proposed that the regulations governing direct taxes (such as income tax) take into account the irregularity of sales or making or receiving income artists ie, time-often very lengthy, which takes between the completion of a work and marketing. A second bonus in direct taxes, reduction of fiscal pressure on the income of young artists in the early years of its activity to facilitate their professionalization. Proposal: Formation of an interministerial committee with Finance, Culture and UAAV.
Lowering VAT on works of art
In order to stimulate collecting contemporary art, artists have spoken for the proposal to establish a cultural VAT 4% which would mean the lowering of the art work by 12%. Proposal A: Conduct a study on the impact of VAT reduction in the contemporary art market. Proposal B: Compose a draft European directive on VAT harmonization in contemporary art.
7. Towards an ascription of the artist in the Social Security system
A detailed analysis of the assignment of visual artists to the public social security system in European countries reveals the different levels of social protection. Germany, Holland and France stand by ample provisions on sick leave or unemployment as well as an efficient attachment and a very affordable artist's financial contribution to the financing of Social Security. This framework are contrasted with the Spanish situation in which the artists have to meet high prices by the Conditions of Self-Employed, obtaining in return a very poor performance, no sick leave benefits and a very small pensions. The UAAV poses a social security system that takes into account the payment of fees in proportion to income or access to social protection of artists who demonstrate a clear inability to meet their economic contributions. We propose the disappearance of the duplicity of contributions by those artists who combine their artistic self-sale of their works-in other salaried occupations (teaching, etc..). Proposal: Formation of an interministerial committee with Labour and Social Affairs, Culture and UAAV.
8. Arts and Education (Structural Deficit) The visual expression in his practice, theory and recent history has incorporated with determination and ambition at all levels of the education system through a cross-cutting approach that exceeds the current division credits or subjects and infused into the contemporary knowledge. It is necessary to promote a thorough reform of education in terms of visual expression that meets the training of teachers, nursery school, primary, secondary, high school and college with well-trained teachers with the necessary financial resources.
Proposal A:
commissioned a study on the inclusion of art practice and contemporary history at all levels of education: primary, secondary, and higher arts education.
Proposal B:establishment of an interministerial committee with Education, Culture, teachers and UAAV.
9. Arts and media (structural deficit) Contemporary art has to be present in the media and public ownership in a special way in the normal hours of television audience. The UAAV offers a quality and reliable information on culture and contemporary art in the media through news programs, dissemination and debate showing contemporary creation and deepen it.
Proposal A:
organize a meeting with the leaders of RTVE and FORTA, Ministry of Culture and UAAV.
Proposal B:
Plan dissemination of art in the media in public ownership.10. A new way to manage public resources in the field of Culture: A State Arts Council. These twenty-five years of democracy in Spain have positively transformed the public administration of culture. A decentralization of the state with the recovery of the autonomous governments of the historic nationalities and the creation of the new administrations in other communities, we must add the work of municipalities. In this country ever culture and arts had enjoyed support and means for its promotion, distribution and projection as those currently available. However, the undeniable reality is clouded by tensions and dynamics that should be overcome in order to. Art and culture-as the public media, need for an elementary rule of strict respect for democracy, autonomy party that prevents its use by the public authorities. The fine line between information culture or political propaganda has broken too many times, lately at an alarming rate, as we look to the other side. The current model of public administration of culture is in crisis. To our knowledge we must review the system, learn from the best experiences of our environment and devise a new way to manage public resources and expertise in the field of artistic creation that moves decision making to civil society: a Council State Arts Associations Union of Visual Artists points below the key features of the State Council on the Arts: First. The State Arts Council will not be a new advisory body or consultant, you have executive powers in the field of artistic creation and autonomy to determine their own policies, its own priorities and budgets for its programs and activities II. The State Arts Council will be composed of experts, independent professionals and recognized for their creations and their service in the field of arts, culture and the humanities. Its members will be chosen by the Congress of Deputies a proposal from the social partners and professional organizations representing the various sectors of creation. The composition of the State Arts Council is renewed every four years and half of the parliamentary term. Third. The State Arts Council will include representatives of cultural administration of the Autonomous Regions and / or the Arts Council regional level that could be created, in order to foster cooperation and collaboration and outreach programs to determine the international artistic creation made in Spain. Fourth. The State Arts Council will be submitted at any time, the authority of the Congress of Deputies to hold an annual debate on the state of culture during which evaluate the results of its management. The launch of this new management model of artistic creation will require the drafting and approval by the Legislature, an Act of State Arts Council. Documentation: - Draft Constitution of the State Council of Arts and Cultures (ECAC). - Structure and Budget of the Ministry of Culture and the Directorate General for Cultural Cooperation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Proposal A: Taking a proactive project to an independent commissioner. Proposal B: UAAV Participation in the process of implementation of the ECAC.
