The BBK is affiliated with various organizations and works together with fellow organizations to ensure that the professional practice of visual artists can improve. The BBK maintains contacts with members of the House of Representatives, other politicians and policymakers at various levels, in order to contribute to a good vision of the visual arts and artistry, and to make known the concrete situation of autonomously working visual artists.
The members' meeting determines the policy; it is implemented by the board and the national office.
