“It’s Great Exposure” Pay Equity in the Arts
Description:
The academic institution is successful at educating and developing artists. But across industries, artists are underpaid, overworked, and struggling to make ends meet. Reexamining the role of the academy is key in reaching fair pay for artists.
This panel will discuss the academic institution’s role in developing artists for fair pay, unpaid internships for college students, and the academic institution’s role in challenging the systemic pay gap for artists.
