NAVA Code of Practice

Code of Practice

The Code of Practice for the Professional Australian Visual Arts, Craft and Design Sector (“the Code”) is the nucleus of NAVA’s work. The Code is both a record and a benchmark of best practice across the contemporary arts including legal, ethical and financial business practices, as well as thorough arts industry guidelines.

NAVA is constantly updating the Code to ensure it remains up-to-date, fair, and reflects the best interests of the artist and worker.

As we announced at Future/Forward, we’re about to embark on a major revision of the Code, working with academic, legal and industry partners as well as consulting widely all over Australia. 

In the month following Future/Forward, we’ve been talking a lot about the Code: what’s in it, how to use it and how useful it can be. 

So that we can best frame the work of revising the Code, this survey asks you to provide feedback on how you use the Code.
