AWUF Programs
Programs that strengthen arts & culture workers
From rights-based education and policy research to mutual aid and resource-sharing networks, AWUF builds tools and community support that improve the economic, artistic, and social well-being of arts workers.
What we do
Program areas
Our work is organized into two core programs—supported by practical resources and toolkits that help arts workers take action and stay informed.
Education & Research
Clear information. Practical tools. Stronger advocacy.
We translate complex issues—labor rights, legal considerations, and policy impacts—into accessible resources that arts workers can use in real life.
✔
Rights-based resources
Plain-language explainers that help arts workers understand protections, risks, and options.
✔
Policy & legislation tracking
Updates and context on decisions that shape the creative economy—so communities can respond with clarity.
Mutual Aid & Resource Sharing
We help connect arts workers to community support through partnerships, shared resources, and mutual aid pathways.
Our goal is to make it easier to find help, offer help, and build long-term resilience across the creative sector—especially during moments of disruption.
