In addition to supporting specific and one-off projects that meet one of our objectives, the PlayRight+ department can also provide financial support for a (renewable) period of 2 years  to and collaborate with organisations that make a positive contribution to the artistic community and ethically favour the performing artists.<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

De Acteursgilde: What they do<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEFENDING THEIR INTERESTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’union fait la force.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Acteursgilde <\/a><\/strong>is the Flemish interest group for professional actors. The areas in which you as an individual are too weak or too vulnerable to get things moving, De Acteursgilde wants to defend your social and financial interests. They primarily focus on the audiovisual sector, but they will also make their voices heard in the performing arts sector when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Acteursgilde is a discussion partner for producers, broadcasters, trade unions and the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In consultations about policy, funding, wage setting, neighbouring rights, taxation, the future of our media landscape, etc., only joint action can make the difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Acteursgilde wants to guarantee that difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASSIST THEIR MEMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can contact De Acteursgilde for questions about allowances, rights and obligations, contracts and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the know-how is better elsewhere, they will refer you to the organisation concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNITING THEIR MEMBERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the annual “Actor’s Night”, De Acteursgilde invites you to a party “united as one”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They use this opportunity to exchange information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first place, they provide an explanation of their operation and achievements of the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, they can give more information about delicate topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But above all, it remains a party: the ideal event to meet colleagues or bump into old friends, and above all, to celebrate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"union<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

L’Union des Artistes du Spectacle<\/a><\/strong> is the oldest association of performing artists in Belgium. It was founded in 1927 with the main purpose of defending the professional interests of numerous French and Belgian artists who were active in the two neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the Union continues its social work with artists who are often struggling, despite a life devoted to art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The association strives to strengthen the bonds of solidarity between the many artists who perform on stage or on screen. For instance, the company carries out philanthropic and solidarity missions (by helping its members financially, legally and morally), while guarding the defense of artistic and technical professions in the music, film, audiovisual and performing arts sector.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognised as a professional federation by the government of the Federation Wallonia-Brussels, L’Union des Artistes du Spectacle has been working for 20 years on improving the cultural policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The association is composed of performing artists: musicians, singers, dancers, technicians, directors, actors, … For 95 years, it has been helping its members and providing them with a lot of benefits, always faithful to its designated purpose. A significant part of the financial support goes to the oldest artists who do not receive an adequate pension: the artist’s career is rarely constant; in too many cases his\/her pension is even absurdly low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

L’Union also seeks to ensure the continuous training of its members as well as their professional diversification by regularly organising thematic courses or workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, l’Union is one of the founders of UPACT (Union des professionels des arts et de la creation – worker’s division), which unites 17 professional federations in the cultural sector since 2020. For example, the association takes an active part in the ongoing discussions with the federal government on the reform of the social statute of artists – an important reform that the sector has been waiting for for more than 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the generous financial support of PlayRight+, l’Union des Artistes will continue managing its growing membership, which has never been higher before! In addition to its usual actions, the association will also be able to increase its visibility and offer thematic and educational information sessions to its members in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Facir<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“PlayRight offered one of the first structural supports that FACIR could benefit from. This allowed us to develop our federation and to take an important place in the defense of the artists. Without PlayRight’s trust, that would never have been possible.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
