Abstract
In other countries the Dutch government art policy is regarded with surprise, often with admiration bordering on envy. A large number of visual artists, nearly 2700 at the end of 1979, receive a regular, practically guaranteed, yearly income in exchange for a proportion of their artworks. While not providing a luxurious life-style, the policy does enable the artists to live and work. The policy of support of artists in the domain of the visual or plastic fine arts is officially a social program sponsored by the Ministry of Social Affairs. In addition, several ministries provide percentage schemes for adding artworks to public buildings, and the Ministry for Cultural Affairs provides grants to artists, scholarships for students, etc. Some art museums are supported by the Dutch government, but most museums of contemporary art are supported and operated by municipal governments.
