W.A.G.E.’s mission: To establish sustainable economic relationships between artists and the institutions that contract our work, and to introduce mechanisms for self-regulation into the art field that collectively bring about a more equitable distribution of its economy.
"
W.A.G.E. certification is a wonderful way for the Weavers Guild of Minnesota to join others in the arts non profit community in their dedication to pay artists for their work while building national and international awareness of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota's 77 year old commitment of preserving and advancing the arts of weaving, spinning and dyeing. We are pleased to be in such great company and appreciate the recognition."
-Beth Bowman, Weavers Guild of Minnesota Executive Director
