Description
The Artists Rights Movement (ARM) is building a national network. We are looking for activists to start ARM chapters at their schools. This is a great opportunity to get hands on work experience in art, politics, law, media, and government. Students don't sit around making coffee with ARM, they get real stuff to do. ARM Activists will also have the opportunity to work with some great artists and activists.
The Artists' Rights Movement (ARM) is for everyone.
Our mission is to strengthen laws that protect artists, improve working conditions for artists, and increase government funding for the arts.
