National Coalition Against Censorship’s Arts and Culture Advocacy Program is the only project dedicated to protecting artistic freedom within the United States.
Launched in 2000, NCAC’s Arts and Culture Advocacy Program upholds artists’ participation in democratic dialogue by defending public access to their work and supporting their ability to freely express views that might be unpopular or controversial. The program resolves controversies through education and advocacy, avoiding the need for legal action.
In addition to censorship casework, the NCAC tracks national censorship trends and produce educational resources. It also leads advocacy efforts that empower artists, curators, and institutions to devise productive ways to display and engage in dialogue around controversial artworks.
