奥斯汀公园和娱乐委员会投票推荐为SXSW艺术家提供合理酬劳。
春季音乐会和技术盛会“南西南西（SXSW）”在得克萨斯州奥斯汀市已经成为全球最具盛名的文化盛会之一。历史上，它一直吸引着来自世界各地的艺术家和创意企业家前来参加。然而，与庆祝和喜悦相比，SXSW的参与者们也面临着一些不利的情况。这些情况主要是有关于支付问题的。在过去的几年中，SXSW艺术家们一直在采取行动，以争取他们的工作能够得到适当的价值。
在这种情况下，奥斯汀市的公园和娱乐委员会于2021年6月1日投票，以推荐SXSW向参加音乐节的艺术家提供合理的酬劳。投票结果表明，该委员会已以全体会议的方式通过了要求SXSW向参与者支付酬劳的建议。
在这个提案中， SXSW的参与者将获得合理的酬劳费用，这也是为了鼓励全职或兼职艺术家有机会利用该音乐节来提高他们的知名度和品牌建设。该建议的提出，也得到了许多艺术家和奥斯汀居民的支持。
此举也受到了国家音乐人协会和其他音乐团体的好评，他们对奥斯汀市的公园和娱乐委员会表示感谢，并认为这个决定将有助于提高SXSW的声誉。同时，该建议需要在市议会中得到更广泛的支持，以确保它作为一项法律，能够在未来得到贯彻执行。
The Austin Parks and Recreation Board has voted to recommend fair pay for SXSW artists.
The South by Southwest (SXSW), the spring music and technology festival in Austin, Texas, has become one of the most prestigious cultural events in the world. Historically, it has attracted artists and creative entrepreneurs from all over the world. However, amidst the celebration and joy, SXSW participants have also faced some unfavorable circumstances, particularly with regards to payment issues. In recent years, SXSW artists have taken action to fight for their work to be valued appropriately.
In this light, the Austin Parks and Recreation Board voted on June 1, 2021, to recommend fair pay for SXSW artists. The vote result indicated that the committee had passed the proposal to require SXSW to pay participants in a full council meeting.
Under this proposal, SXSW participants will receive fair compensation, aimed at encouraging full or part-time artists to take advantage of the music festival to increase their visibility and brand building. The proposal has gained numerous supports from artists and Austin residents.
The move has also been praised by the National Musicians’ Association and other music organizations which thanked the Austin Parks and Recreation Board for their decision and believed that it would help enhance the reputation of SXSW. Meanwhile, the proposal needs to garner a more extensive support in the city council to ensure it becomes a law that could be implemented in the future.
