In November 2005 VAGA – The Visual Arts and Galleries Association – launched their groundbreaking long-term campaign for the REALISE your right to art project.
The project is aimed specifically at placing visual culture at the centre of people’s lives, public policy and the political debate, thereby creating a society where everyone is empowered to interpret and make choices about the visual world. VAGA believes that everyone has a fundamental right to art: The opportunity to enjoy, engage with and participate in art and in particular in the art of today, as well as the creative, collective and moral values expressed by such a philosophy.
