A new alliance initiated by artists Anne Hardy, Lindsay Seers and Fatos Ustek.

FRANK Fair Artist Pay pioneers much needed change to fair practice and fair pay for artists in the UK through engaging with art organisations, funding bodies and commissioning agencies to reassess their current structures and methods in working with artists.

FRANK is creating a set of applicable solutions that holistically addresses fair remuneration of artistic labour, working conditions and fair contracts. FRANK collaborates with artists, art organisations, funding bodies and commissioning agencies to employ methods and structures that are responsive to our transitioning society, and prioritises inclusive and intersectional working. FRANK challenges hierarchical structures and works towards aligning the arts community to meaningfully engage to better fair practice in the arts.

FRANK is founded and cared for by artists Anne Hardy, Lindsay Seers and curator Fatos Ustek, and is assisted by Project Assistant, Celina Loh. As established practising artists and an active curator commissioning new work, FRANK directors aligned on the principle that unfair pay and unfair working conditions are no longer to be tolerated.

They initiated FRANK in June 2021 with founding members Camden Arts Centre, Canvas Art Law, Contemporary Art Society, The Tetley and Contemporary Visual Arts Network to holistically expand fair practice in the arts. In June 2022, FRANK established itself as a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC). FRANK’s logo is made by Federation – Design Agency.
