IAA (International Association of Art) Professional Artist Identity Card

The International Association of Art card can be issued to professionally active visual artists; IG Bildende Kunst is a committee member of the International Association of Art. The card is valid for two calendar years (always until December 31 of the following year), can be ordered online here and allows free or reduced admission to numerous exhibition venues internationally. We offer the pass to our members at a reduced price, but the IAA pass is not synonymous with membership of the IG Bildende Kunst!

We will send you the ID card by post once we have received the processing fee. The processing time is usually approx. 2-3 weeks.

Requirements to obtain the IAA Professional Artist Identity Card

  • For visual artists only
    (The degree certificate from an art university/academy is valid as proof. Artists without a degree in art must prove their artistic activity e.g. by means of visual material, concepts, catalogues, participation in exhibitions, media reports and/or other evidence).
  • Current photo on which the face is clearly recognizable
  • Payment of card costs (for full members of IG Bildende Kunst EUR 18, otherwise EUR 48)

Acceptance of IAA (International Association of Art) Professional Artist Identity Card

IG Bildende Kunst repeatedly contacts the various museums and exhibition halls in Austria and asks for recognition of the IAA card and free (or reduced) admission for artists. Interest groups in the relevant country make efforts to have the IAA card recognised in exhibition halls abroad.
