Statement on Artistic Expression and Company Views
At Art Collective International (ACI), we are proud to foster a diverse and inclusive community of artists, each with their own unique voice, style, and perspective. While we support and celebrate artistic expression, the views expressed in individual works do not necessarily reflect the views of ACI as a whole.
We are a 100% queer-owned company, and we are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive space for all artists, partners, and patrons. Our collective comprises multiple studios, each exploring different themes and messages through their art. We encourage open dialogue, artistic freedom, and thoughtful engagement with the work we present.
We ask that you approach each piece with the understanding that art is a powerful medium for personal expression and that the perspectives conveyed are those of the individual artist, not a blanket statement from the entire collective.
Thank you for your continued support, respect, and understanding.
