Cultuurloket: business support for cultural workers (also for musicians & events).
Last updated: 28 August 2026
What is Cultuurloket?
Cultuurloket is the Flemish support hub for cultural workers. They offer business support at the intersection of culture, business economics, and legislation: legal, fiscal, and financial.
This is therefore a relevant referral for our target audience — also for musicians, DJs, and organisers of music events who (want to) work professionally in the music sector.
When is this useful?
- You have questions about status (self-employed/employee, combining income, …) in a cultural context.
- You want clarity on invoicing, VAT, and taxes for artistic performances or events.
- You want to know how to pay people correctly (fees, contracts, volunteers, …).
- You are looking for funding or want to structure your project/operation more professionally.
What can Cultuurloket do for you?
- Knowledge base
- An extensive knowledge base with theme pages and articles on, among other things, non-profits (vzw/asbl), contracts, VAT/taxes, social protection, and funding.
- Personal advice
- Consultants who provide tailored advice when you have a concrete question.
- Training & webinars
- On-demand training, offerings for higher education, and webinars you can (re)watch.
Quick start (recommended)
- Start here: Cultuurloket Kennisbank: startpagina & thema-overzicht
- Then go to the theme that best fits your question (e.g., contracts, VAT/taxes, social protection, …).
