- 2015 Canada: an agreement for visual artists

Carfac and Raav have signed Canda's first union agreement for visual artists. This agreement is very similar to the MU agreement signed in Sweden. It means that any Canadian visual artist who exhibits or has artworks used by the National Gallery of Canada must be paid the negociated rates as minimum. Artists are always free to negociate more, but the Gallery cannot offer less. More details at: www.carfac.ca/2015/02/voteresults
