Equity for Artists is a movement centered on the values of equity, diversity, and fair pay for artists. The mission of this movement is to push for a paradigm shift, to recognize and compensate artists as leaders who shape the ethos of our communities, and to model this mindset starting on the local level.

We are here to encourage artists to rethink their own self-advocacy and power. We are here to encourage arts organizations to rethink their own policies and systems to prioritize artists’ wellbeing. We are here to encourage communities to rethink their own benefits from the arts, and make it possible for creative-minded people to thrive.
