Colophon

BeroepKunstenaar is a website of the Amsterdam University of the Arts (AHK) for creative, performing and teaching artists from different disciplines, for auxiliary professions in the performing arts, and for heritage professionals.

The professional practice

With the help of this knowledge bank, students are already familiarized with the business side of their future field of work during their studies. For alumni, this site offers practical information about starting their own professional practice as an independent or salaried employee. Fair practice and developing a sustainable professional practice are the starting points here.

History

In the late 1990s the AHK started to develop teaching material about the business aspects of the artistic profession. The first site was developed under the name ‘The enterprising Artist’. With the collaboration of Kunstenaars&CO it became www.BeroepKunstenaar.nl in 2003. The AHK has been maintaining and developing this site on its own since July 2009.
