Visual Artist Compensation Policy

In keeping with its commitment to Excellence in Arts, the Roberts Foundation is establishing a Visual Artist Compensation Policy to ensure that visual artists are fairly compensated for their work as are artists in the other genres we fund.

As of February 1, 2022, all applicant organizations must disclose how featured visual artists will be financially compensated. In addition, the foundation will encourage applicant organizations to allocate Roberts’ funding towards visual artist compensation. We believe this policy will elevate the quality of work presented as well as the artistic experience for all.
