Serving Arts & Culture Workers through Education & Research, Information Campaigns, and Resource-sharing & Mutual Aid.

What we do

Arts & Culture Workers Bill Of Rights


In official partnership with Creatives Rebuild New York (CRNY), Media Sutra, and 11 national partners, AWUF is honored to steward The Arts & Cultural Workers Bill of Rights, a living document enshrining the constitutional, civil, legal, labor, and human rights of Arts & Cultural Workers, into its next phase.
Arts & Culture Workers Resistance Lab


In official partnership with the Arts Equity Group, the Arts Resistance Lab is a day-long training that equips NYC arts workers with the skills, strategies, and community to use their creative talents in service of democracy and resistance. Through workshops, skill-building, case studies, and collective action planning, participants will learn to deploy their artistic practice to support resistance infrastructure.

The Artists’ Illustrated Guide To Protest

An illustrated adaptation of AWU’s Protest Guides. Each chapter will be brought to life by a different visual artist, transforming the non-partisan, educational guides into a collective work of art in its own right.
The Guide will be made freely available to Arts Workers nationwide.
