A code of art


Professions have codes of conduct or ethical principles on which they are based. Art is a profession, but in a more fuzzy way than most. I asked myself what a Professional Code for Artists would contain. This is my first provisional effort.

A strong personal voice.

Respect for his/her audience.

Personal aesthetic integrity.

Acknowledging responsibility to his/her viewers and culture.

Remaining true to his/her artistic self as he/she sees it.

Acknowledging the role of art as a gift.
