About

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.

How we work

Progressive

We’re outspoken, inquisitive and future-facing, supporting and inventing new ways to engage and inspire creativity.

Ethical

We work to build a fairer society for artists by being accountable for our actions and leading by example.

Connected

We’re inclusive, open-minded and welcoming. Working together wherever we are, we achieve our ambitions with respect and generosity.

Empowering

People listen to us, because we listen to artists. We empower each other and our members to make change for the better
