The creative arts are a part of our history, our culture and our ongoing conversation with each other about who we are and what kind of world we live in. Supporting the arts has been an integral part of our social connection since the beginning of human history.
Censorship, the impact of new technologies, the protection of intellectual property, the banning of books, the monopolistic aspects of publishing, the representation of identities and themes in our media are among the important issues within the arts to have awareness of.
Efforts to ban, censor, limit or homogenize the arts is an affront to our freedoms of speech and expression and limits our imaginations and our commentary about the world we’re living in.
