The proposal aims to discuss and share practices concerning artistic freedom in the digital environment, tackling strategies promoted by civil society and public institutions in order to reinforce the skill acquisition of artists when using the digital environment to present, disseminate and sell their work. It also tackles remuneration policies and debates on the adaptation of statute legislation for artists, via recent examples.
