Jessica Palalagi: Arts Foundation GM on new scheme looking to provide Kiwi artists more pay parity overseas - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A new resale royalty scheme looks to provide Kiwi artists more pay parity with those overseas.

The Government's announced the policy - in line with New Zealand's free trade agreements with the UK and EU.

It'll give visual artists a five percent cut, before any other charges, letting them benefit from a resale.

Arts Foundation General Manager Jessica Palalagi told Mike Hosking it's great news.

She says it brings local artists more on par with what's happening internationally, and gives them the recognition they deserve.

The scheme will be introduced by late 2024.
