Art associations

Art associations are organizations that promote the interests of artists and the visual arts. They often provide support through exhibitions, educational programs, and resources for both artists and the public. These associations can focus on specific mediums, styles, or community engagement, and they serve as a platform for networking, collaboration, and advocacy. By fostering creativity and appreciation for art, they help enhance cultural awareness and appreciation within society. Examples include the American Art Therapy Association and various local artist collectives.
