With the Artist Fund we create a caring and intergenerational community of artists.
The Artist Fund is a circular monetary fund that supports artists in the development of their presentation for Unfair. With the Artist Fund, we are proud to be the first and probably only art fair to pay participants to take part in our programme. The idea is simple. Artists get an incentive to develop work for our fair from our fund. When this work is sold, artists donate a percentage of their sales to the fund, combined with generous donations by varying funds and organisations. This pay-it-forward method encourages the creation of a support network between artists of all ages and disciplines with the help of sponsors that believe in building a fair economic culture within the arts, paving the way for the next generation of creators.
For UNFAIR26, our circular Artist Fund was generously sponsored by Kees de Boekhouder
A word from our sponsor: “We believe in the next generation of creators. That is why we are proud to support the Unfair Artist Fund, an initiative that gives young artists the opportunity to showcase their work at Unfair. As accountants for creative entrepreneurs, everyday we see just how much talent there is and how important it is to support creators not only artistically, but also in their entrepreneurial endeavours. With our contribution, we’re helping the next generation of artists to gain visibility, grow and focus on what they do best: creating.”
Kees de Boekhouder has been a close companion since the founding of the Unfair Foundation in 2010. Over the years, they have played an integral part in the development and growth of Unfair by allowing us to focus on the support of artists and remain creative in the process.
