In 2018, NAVA – the National Association for the Visual Arts – announced it would revise its existing Code of Practice for Visual Arts, Craft and Design, which was originally written in 2001.
While the Code has gone through five subsequent re-writes during that time, it was still vastly out of date, thanks to changes in technology, museum practices and importantly equitable and ethical structures around how we present artists’ work.
