Artist Training DIGITAL BASICS (INTRO Hamburg) presents:

WORKSHOP: How to Be Part-time Freelancer

23 September 2021, 3 - 6 pm

With: Sebastian Hoffmann for Touring Artists

Working as a non-EU artist in Germany: What you need to know regarding work status, residence permits, social security, and taxation?

Artists' careers tend to be multidimensional and multi-status: for one project, an artist works self-employed/freelance, for another project, as an employee. Many artists also have side jobs that aren't related to their artistic practice. In the workshop, you'll get an overview on the administrative side of working as an artist in Germany: what is the difference between self-employment/freelancing and employment? What are the implications of conducting multiple activities for social security (health insurance and insurance through the Künstlersozialkasse) and taxation? Which type of residence permit allows which activity? The workshop will be conducted in English and led by Sebastian Hoffmann, consultant at touring artists (www.touring-artists.info), the German mobility information point for international artists. touring artists is a joint project by the International Association of Art (IGBK), the International Theatre Institute (ITI) and the German Dance Association (Dachverband Tanz), supported by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (BKM).
