A Study on the Canadian Status of Artist Act 1992

&nbsp;&nbsp;It is noticeable that Canada did enact “the Canadian Status of Artist Act 1992” to support economic and legal status of artist corresponding to their creativity and contributions to the cultural life of Canada.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In Korea, the characteristics of artist as laborer is also admitted and they are restrictively under the protection of them by labour law and copyright law. But it is needed to recognize the legal status of artist differently from other laborers because of their creativity and bohemianism.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;But artists are commonly isolated from the protection of general labour related laws and don&quot;t have any financial aids matching to their creativity except for few famous writers and entertainers. So it is suggested to fill the legal vacuum. In this respect, “The Canadian Status of Artist Act 1992” is very suggestive to us.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;“A draft bill of Arts Promotion Act” includes some articles relating to ensure the status and right of artist, but those articles seem to be almost declaratory and abstract one. It is to be desired rather the enactment of single 『Status of Artist Law』 than adding several articles to the existing “Arts Promotion Act 1972”. For that purpose, it is necessary to review and analyze profoundly about “the Canadian Status of Artist Act”<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Taking into account of the limitation and defects “the Canadian Status of Artist Act 1992” as labour law, the proposed 『Status of Artist Law』 should be more comprehensive legislation that covers social security and tax benefit.
