direct action for the arts...
Most Americans say they are inspired by art, but few value artists' role in society or know what artists actually do. More visual artists work in the U.S. than any other type of artist, yet visual art generates only four percent of the massive arts and entertainment industry revenues.
A portion of United Visual Arts' profits will be used to build the first national visual artist advocacy organization. The non-profit United Visual Artists will use multi-media marketing strategies and social activism to educate Americans about the vital service artists provide for the nation, and to improve public policy relating to the arts.
