aemi’s artist remuneration and support policy

aemi provides key supports to Irish and Ireland-based artists through its Affiliate programme, an ongoing national initiative that offers advice and mentoring sessions as well as workshops aimed at developing artist moving image practice. aemi also produces a monthly newsletter which highlights key events and opportunities in this area. To find out more about these supports and to subscribe to our free newsletter visit our artist support page.

Since its formation aemi has aimed for clarity and transparency in its artist remuneration policy. aemi believes strongly in the importance of paying artists for the exhibition of their work.

Created in conjunction with international standards, aemi has established a set of screening fees for artists (designed to cover a single public screening). These standards have helped provide a minimum working base for agreements with artists but all final arrangements are made in conversation with artists and are agreed upon in advance.

Standard screening fees are as follows:
1 –5 mins €80
6 -30 mins €100
31 -60 mins €150
60 mins and over €200

All arrangements around remuneration are made directly with artists and aemi continues to develop its remuneration policy in relationship with a wide range of international organisations as well as through its direct engagement with artists. aemi also develops its policies in compliance with, and in conversation with the Arts Council of Ireland’s recently published policy around ‘Paying the Artist’ (2020).
