Special Announcement - Muralis

[ENG] - Hello Bali Art Guide Community,

A few months ago we were contacted by a Belgium group called Muralis, asking us to help spread the word about their upcoming event in Bali. We saw an opportunity for artists in Bali to get some International exposure. So we agreed to share their open calls through our network.

Recently we were alerted to the document shared to artists from Muralis with some concerning features. Bali Art Guide is not a part of this project at all but we feel a responsibility to the community here so we would like to translate and clarify some key points that Muralis is suggesting.

  1. The document they sent is NOT a contract. This means that there is room for negotiation.
  2. Any artwork selected and sent to Belgium is done at the cost to the artist, not Muralis.
  3. Packing, shipping and insurance is the responsibility of the artist.
  4. If you want your artwork returned to Bali then
    1. Muralis can refuse your request
    2. If they agree then the artist is responsible for the cost of packing and shipping back to Bali.
It is very important that any artist here is aware of this information before agreeing to sign any contract.

Bali Art Guide does not agree with these and am requesting Muralis review them. Until then we will be withdrawing our support of this project.

All of you artists are obviously free to make your own decisions but we just want to make sure that you all understand so you can make an informed decision.

Thank you

Bali Art Guide Team

[ID] - Halo Komunitas Bali Art Guide,

Beberapa bulan yang lalu, kami dihubungi oleh sebuah kelompok dari Belgia bernama Muralis, yang meminta bantuan kami untuk menyebarkan informasi tentang acara mereka yang akan datang di Bali. Kami melihat kesempatan bagi para seniman di Bali untuk mendapatkan eksposur internasional. Oleh karena itu, kami setuju untuk membagikan panggilan terbuka mereka melalui jaringan kami.

Beberapa waktu lalu, kami mendapat informasi tentang dokumen yang dibagikan oleh Muralis kepada para seniman, yang mengandung beberapa poin yang mengkhawatirkan. Bali Art Guide sama sekali tidak terlibat dalam proyek ini, namun kami merasa bertanggung jawab terhadap komunitas di sini, sehingga kami ingin menerjemahkan dan menjelaskan beberapa poin penting yang diusulkan oleh Muralis.

  1. Dokumen yang mereka kirimkan BUKAN kontrak. Ini berarti ada ruang untuk negosiasi.
  2. Setiap karya seni yang dipilih dan dikirim ke Belgia, untuk biayanya ditanggung oleh seniman, bukan Muralis.
  3. Pengemasan, pengiriman, dan asuransi menjadi tanggung jawab seniman.
  4. Jika Anda ingin karya seni Anda dikembalikan ke Bali,
    1. Muralis dapat menolak permintaan Anda.
    2. Jika mereka setuju, seniman bertanggung jawab atas biaya pengemasan dan pengiriman kembali ke Bali.

Sangat penting bagi semua seniman di sini untuk memahami informasi ini sebelum menandatangani kontrak apa pun.

Bali Art Guide tidak setuju dengan hal ini dan meminta Muralis untuk meninjau ulang. Hingga saat itu, kami akan menarik dukungan kami terhadap proyek ini.

Semua seniman bebas membuat keputusan sendiri, tetapi kami hanya ingin memastikan bahwa Anda semua memahami agar dapat membuat keputusan yang tepat dari informasi yang sudah terkumpul.

Terima kasih

Tim Bali Art Guide
