The Art Union

An Art Union is a cooperative organization that encourages public support for local artists by pooling resources to fund their work. Members buy tickets or memberships, and a portion of the proceeds is used to purchase or fund artworks. These artworks are then often displayed publicly or auctioned, allowing the community to enjoy and invest in local art while artists gain recognition and financial support. Art Unions help promote cultural development, foster artistic talent, and make art accessible to a broader audience through collective effort.
