A one-hour online session on how to set up a Mobility Info Point (MIP). The session aims to encourage organisations in the arts and cultural sector, such as public institutions, national organisations, public funders or independent bodies, to set up an MIP in countries that do not yet have one. Practical steps involved will be explained.
MIPs are information centres and/or websites tackling administrative challenges that artists and culture professionals can face when working across borders. Key issues are visas, social insurance, taxes, and customs.
An informative crash course in cooperation with the IGBK and with touring artists on everything you want to know about “How to become an artist-in-residence”: How and where can you find information on residencies? Are there quality criteria? Can you bring your family? Are material costs reimbursed or maintenance paid, are there any hidden costs? Are travel costs covered? Which residency programmes really make sense and why?
touring artists is part of the MENT Festival programme in Ljubljana.
Touring and working across borders involves navigating a complex web of legal regulations. This presentation will provide an overview of the most pressing issues, including double taxation, VAT, customs, social insurance, and visas. The aim is to help artists and organisers prepare more effectively for future international projects and tours.
Contracts? It's better to have one, especially in the arts and culture sector. What should be included in a contract? What form can a contract have? Does everything in the contract apply? How can questions about the copyright be expressed? What can I do in case of a contract breach? What do I do if there is no contract and the other party won't pay me?
Lawyer Laura Rhotert will provide a detailed introduction to the topic in this workshop, followed by an open question and answer session where your individual concerns can be discussed.
Laura Rhotert has been admitted to the bar since 2011 and initially worked as a solicitor in large and medium-sized law firms in the areas of antitrust law and trademark law before starting her own practice in 2019, focusing on copyright contract law and trademark law. She has been a partner at Laaser & Rhotert PartG mbB since 2025 and mainly advises on contract law, copyright law and trademark law.
