KBLI 90023 (Aktivitas Pelaku Kreatif Seni Rupa) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for activities of creative professionals in visual arts. It sits within Arts, Entertainment and Recreation under the subgroup Creative and Artistic Worker Activities (major group 90) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
This group practices art using various mediums and methods that encompass both tangible and intangible qualities. Tangible aspects in the work and art in the context of culture include all results of visual art practices through various medium approaches: painting, drawing, sculpture, crafts, graphics, street art, installation, mixed media, conceptual art, happenings, performance art, photography, video art, science-based art, sound art, site-specific art, community-based art, media art, and new media art. Included in this group are visual artists, artisans, curators, sculptors, cartoonists, art researchers, gallery collectors, visual art critics, art managers, art handlers, organizations and art spaces, art archivists, and so on.
Who needs KBLI 90023?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in activities of creative professionals in visual arts as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Why does the code matter?
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
