Wasn’t sure where to post this.
A trade union for visual and applied artists launches on 1st May as part of International Labour Day. Artists’ Union England will be the first trade union in England for visual and applied artists, since the dissolution of The Artists’ Union in 1984. To celebrate, founding members of Artists’ Union England will be attending the May Day rallies in Newcastle and London.
