FREELANCERS MANIFESTO

A GUIDE TO BEST PRACTICE FOR THE EMPLOYMENT OF FREELANCE WORKERS

The Freelancer Manifesto is an agreement between Turtle Key Arts, their collaborating companies (of which Open Sky is one), and freelance workers. It sets out a series of actions and practices to be implemented with a view to improving access to work, representation, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing within the Turtle Key Arts freelance workforce. A commitment to ensuring optimum working conditions for freelancers to do their best work and continue to grow as professionals whilst working with Turtle Key Arts and their collaborating companies and artists.

A promise to listen and act. Turtle Key Arts and their collaborators want to hear from freelance artists within the Industry about the challenges faced. We understand that freelancers hold much of today’s cultural landscape together. We want to ensure over time that freelancers can thrive, but know there is some way to go. We are committed to support this cause through lobbying opportunities whenever possible
