For 50 years, one of the most important functions of the Graphic Artists Guild has been advocacy. We continue to work tirelessly to ensure that our members — and all creatives — get fair pay, appropriate working conditions, and ownership of their work.
In addition to our resources and educating on best practices for creatives, we advocate for all graphic artists locally, at both city and state levels, and on Capitol Hill on a wide range of legislative initiatives, as well as internationally through active membership in global umbrella organizations.
