As threats to artistic and creative freedom increase, how can we support each other? As artists, what does safety look like? ARC – Artists at Risk Connection, a global organization dedicated to defending artistic freedom and cultural rights, is committed to exploring these questions. In October 2025, ARC collaborated with over 100 partner organizations (including CERF+) to launch a nation-wide survey on artist safety, gathering key insights on the most pressing challenges for artists. This year, ARC is developing a risk assessment tool to help artists and cultural workers recognize risks, respond to threats, and safeguard themselves and their work.
In this webinar, Patrick Bond, U.S. Program Officer for ARC , shared the latest insights from ARC’s National Artist Safety Survey and the organization’s goals for a new risk assessment tool, which will connect artists at risk to practical resources. Bond also provided important findings on the artist communities most impacted by our current socio-political moment.
