Building Fair Futures for Freelancers
  • Building Fair Futures for Freelancers

    The Fair Deal Checklist is a tiered framework designed by the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council to help arts organizations systematically evaluate and improve their equity practices for independent contractors. It provides a clear continuum, from Bronze through Platinum, with actionable standards at each level. The Checklist is intended as a practical tool for organizations to conduct self-audits, identify areas for improvement, and publicly demonstrate commitment to fair contracting practices. As part of our commitment to Build Fair Futures for Freelancers, we're seeking feedback from at least 30 freelance arts workers and 5 organizations.
  • Are you providing feedback as a freelance arts worker or as the representative of an organization that engages with freelance arts workers?
  • Is there anything in the Bronze Level that stands out to you that needs reviewed or additional consideration?
  • Is there anything in the Silver Level that stands out to you that needs reviewed or additional consideration?
  • Is there anything in the Gold Level that stands out to you that needs reviewed or additional consideration?
  • Is there anything in the Platinum Level that stands out to you that needs reviewed or additional consideration?
  • Would you be interested in scheduling a 1:1 conversation with Arts Council CEO Patrick Fisher to further discuss Building Fair Futures for Freelancers?
