We are the artists’ advocate. Guided by our members, we campaign on crucial issues – from fair pay to intellectual property – ensuring that artists’ voices are heard and shaping policy at the highest levels.

Open to every artist, our inclusive, open-minded community connects members to the services and opportunities they need to thrive, empowering them to make change for the better.

We are outspoken champions of the value of artists to society because we believe artists see things differently, offering much-needed perspectives that connect us, enrich our lives and create wonder for the world.
