Working Artists and the Greater Economy was founded in New York City in 2008  by a group of visual and performing artists and independent curators. Today, W.A.G.E. is a small but mighty 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that remains focused on one form of inequity that holds in place so many others – the exploitation of human labor. Still artist-run, we're proud to have been recognized internationally by UNESCO:
