the business association for artists...

JOIN TODAY!

Philadelphia/Tri State Artists Equity Association, Inc. works to promote the business interests of visual artists through exhibits, professional issues, advocacy and other programs. Artists Equity is one of the few organizations that addresses these concerns. To achieve these important goals, we need your participation as a member.

As artists working together, we can accomplish far more than we can as individuals. Artists Equity endeavors to strengthen our voice through cooperation with other arts organizations and through our partnership with the Friends of Artists Equity Trust. When we speak with one voice, we can influence the conditions that affect all of our lives.
