WILCHES VISBAL, Jorge; DJORDJEVIC, Sandra  and  COHEN RODRIGUEZ, Yarlemis Loraine. Rights of the artist as a worker within the framework of the strengthening of the creative industry in Colombia. Justicia [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.39, pp.251-262.  Epub June 29, 2021. ISSN 0124-7441.  https://doi.org/10.17081/just.26.39.4417.

This paper proposes a reflection on the situation of the artists’ rights in the cases when they act as workers or independent service providers within the creative industry in Colombia, for which the concepts of employee and worker as well as the concepts of professional and amateur are reviewed from a legal and academic perspective. Likewise, it reviews the legal body on the creative industry in Colombia as a bet for the generation of employment and development. Lastly, certain suggestions for an enhanced protection and work incentives for the artist as a profession are proposed, following the example of the recently enacted Actor Act.

Keywords : Artist; worker; independent service provider; creative industry; Actor Act.
