Part salaried worker, part self-employed worker
As an artist, you could be subject to the system of salaried workers and officials and to that of self-employed workers (as primary activity or secondary activity).
This may be in a purely artistic context and in a combination of occupations.

Examples
  • a violin player, this being his main employment, who builds violin instruments in a self-employed capacity
  • an actor, this being his main employment, who does stage directing part-time
  • an independent sculptor, this being his main occupation, who teaches for a few hours part-time as an employed worker
  • an employee, this being his main occupation, who is in addition an independent author

As a self-employed person on a part-time basis, in the eyes of the social security office you have the same obligations as an self-employed worker in principal occupation.
In principle, you do not with your contributions as a part-time self-employed worker establish any rights. You have opened such rights through your principal occupation (salaried worker or civil servant).

You are required to provide your insurance fund with proof of your other activity (salaried worker or civil servant).
