Portugal - Employment & Protection

Legal framework

There is no overall legal framework for artists in Portugal.
The setting up of the Operational Programme for Culture (POC, 2000/2006), benefits artists directly or indirectly through its measures for the network of cultural spaces, the use of new information technologies, the broadening of audiences, the financing of "immaterial projects", etc.

Social Protection

Social security for arts professionals is regulated under common law. There is no specific law for self-employed artists.
