Art Workers' Union (MDPS)

The Art Workers' Union represents workers in the visual arts. Our aim is to improve the environment for cultural work and the financial situation of art workers, and to promote solidarity and mutual support among art workers.

Who is an art worker? Working in the budgetary, public or private sector; on long-term or fixed-term employment contracts, with a service or author's contract, with a certificate of individual activity, etc. An art worker is not only an artist, but also a person working in the fields of education, graphic design, technical support, maintenance of premises and exhibitions, text editing, etc., who has a work relation with visual arts institutions, organisations, initiatives and private persons.
