Arts Activism

The artist deduction bill (S.548) would give artist the right to deduct the fair market value of their work when donating it to a charity.

Right now artists/artisans can only deduct the material costs of creating their work.

Please follow the link and support this bill. It allows you to fill in and send on-line to your congressmen.
