Existing Talk, Performance, Presentation, or Reading is defined as the delivery by a single participant of an existing talk, performance, or visual presentation of works, or the reading of a text to an audience.
Why? Increases to performance fees in July 2023 produced a gap in the W.A.G.E. Fee Schedule in which there were no scalable options for an existing single (one-off) performance by an artist. The purpose of this adjustment is to close that gap. Read more about W.A.G.E. Fee Categories here .
In case you missed it, starting July 1, 2023, W.A.G.E. minimum fees in all 15 categories increased by 25% to account for the cumulative rate of inflation since pricing was introduced in 2014. For more on Fee Calculation and to view the new rates, click here .
Recommended rates for Artist Assistants and Studio Managers also increased:
Artist Assisting Starting Rate: $31 per hour minimum
