NICC?
In recent years, NICC has helped establish initiatives such as Extra City and Studio Start (now known as Morpho), promoted the development of studio policy in Antwerp, helped facilitate social security for artists, distributed model documents to support artists, and emphasised the need for adequate funding for the visual arts, all with the ultimate goal of improving the socio-economic position of visual artists.
