Under these programs, artists exchanged their artworks to the organizations in return for cash subsidies.
Both programs were designed to provide extra resources to needy artist families.
Sometimes the artists gave art objects to the organization voluntarily; this eventually became a requirement ("contraprestatie").
The renter would pay a higher monthly fee for the art object in a long-term rental.
[1] Due to the massive influx of art works back into the koffers of the fund (that were not necessarily seen as equity), in 1972 a program called Kunstuitleen was developed.
