art created by workers
"... art is really an attempt to express our individuality,
our creativity,
our wonderment,
our very selves!
Who we are in the personal sphere
dictates who we are in the professional;
to try and separate the two dimensions
is to belittle and spurn both halves."

about this site
This site is dedicated to exhibiting the beauty of work, and showcasing the talent of those who perform it. Too often, working people must suppress their full complement of talents in the effort to put food on the table, and keep a roof over their heads. There is much talent that is never developed because society is set up so that energy must be used for working overtime, two jobs, or tending to exhausted and aching muscles.
If dreams come true, this site will help to eliminate the artificial separation between our professional and personal lives. With the exposure of talent and emotion from working people, maybe society can begin to address the social ills that stop these talents from being fully developed. Maybe someday we will see a world where people who honestly apply their skills will receive full compensation for them, and be able to have time for enjoying family, and other interests such as the arts. Maybe someday we will understand that the wealth produced by workers can come in may shapes and styles, not just in the kind that is locked up in banks by a small elite sector of society.
Help us, don't deny the opportunity for exhibiting the talents that you possess. Enjoy the images, poetry or artifacts shown on this site; think about the freedom that the arts present to those who create or support them. If you are interested in obtaining some of the artwork shown, if you are an artist who wishes to display your work on this site or if you want to know more about improving conditions in your workplace, please contact us.
