Procedure details

The offer is aimed at you

  • if you are already insured under the Artists' Social Insurance Act or
  • intend to be insured under the Artists' Social Insurance Act.

As a self-employed artist or journalist, you can be insured for statutory health, social care and general pension insurance through the Artists' Social Insurance Fund. The Künstlersozialkasse must inform and advise you about your rights and obligations under the artists' social insurance scheme.

To this end, the Künstlersozialkasse regularly organizes

  • Lectures,
  • seminars and
  • web seminars.

You will receive comprehensive information on all topics relating to artists' social insurance and the artists' social security contribution.

As a rule, the lectures and seminars take place on site at an organization - for example an association or a working group. The events must be requested from the Künstlersozialkasse by associations or organizations and are organized in cooperation with them.

You can take part in the web seminars online from anywhere with Internet access.

An on-site information event normally lasts 2 hours. You need to allow about one hour for a web seminar.

The information service is only aimed at groups. The Künstlersozialkasse does not offer individual consultations in this format.

  • As the organizer of a personal presentation or an on-site seminar, you must be able to mobilize a large number of interested parties, for example via a working group, an association or similar organizational structures.
