"Advocating for better working conditions and compensation is a regular part of what we do as working artists. Art institutions--museums and academia alike--need to understand that artists must be paid properly for our creativity, time, energy, expertise, skills, experience, and wisdom.

From Thomas Leeb, faculty member with Cal Arts Faculty United - UAW - “I’ve taught at CalArts since 2017, and I know how critical SVA’s efforts are. Every semester, faculty like me face weeks of anxiety waiting for contracts, where a few lost hours can mean financial hardship.

“I teach one class each semester at SVA, alongside my full-time job as Head of Learning at Codecademy. I recently learned that my class has been canceled for next semester, and possibly for the entire year, due to an administrative error by the Registrar.

From Lydia Nguyen - “I only teach one class because I have a full-time job in book editorial. We all want to devote more time to our students, so I appreciate that other professors fill in the gaps and take on adjunct pay and benefits, which are equivalent of competitive salaried workloads.
