IGFM - About Us
The IGFM is an Austria-wide association of freelance music makers of various genres who actively work to improve the situation of all freelance music makers in Austria. Only natural persons can join the association.
What is the IGFM needed for?
- to improve the current situation of the independent music scene and to address grievances (e.g. fee rates, working conditions, all forms of discrimination,...).
- to make relevant information available in a compact form also for non-German speakers
- to help shape current cultural policy and to rage for media coverage
- to raise awareness in politics and society and to promote solidarity in the community
IGFM demands:
- Creation of legal and fiscal framework conditions for the profession of "freelance musicians
- Linking public funding for organisers to Fair Pay, Fair Play and Fair Practice
- Social security for freelance musicians
- Cohesion instead of lone wolves! Understand, encourage and support each other!
