Fales Library: Working Artists and the Greater Economy

Collected by: New York University

Archived since: Sep, 2015

Description:

This collection contains websites related to Working Artists and the Greater Economy (W.A.G.E.), mostly documenting their web presence from 2015-2017. The website contains information on their wo/manifesto; mission; history of the organization and history of artist organizing; board members; fundraising efforts specifically their Wages 4 W.A.G.E. campaign; writings on artist compensation; news; and events. A major focus on the website includes the 2010 W.A.G.E survey on artist payment from non-profit arts institutions and guidance on W.A.G.E. certification program and how to get certified. Many of their events and videos focused on publicizing the results of the survey and getting artists and institutions involved in the certification program. Other events include exhibitions and performance art exhibited by W.A.G.E. members, as well as conferences, meetings, and symposia focusing on activism in the arts sector. In 2016, they began publicizing their work on the WAGENCY program.
