AI-generated Abstract
The paper emphasizes the significance of recognizing artistic work as legitimate labor deserving of legal and social acknowledgment, particularly within labour law and social security contexts. It argues that prevailing perceptions and cultural paradigms often diminish the value of art, reducing it primarily to its economic implications. Using cultural policies from Malta, the Netherlands, and Finland as examples, the author advocates for a shift in perspective that honors the intrinsic worth of art, thus promoting better support for artists in their societal contributions.
