GLOBAL ARTIST LEAGUE

The Global Artist League aims to promote world peace and artistic exchanges and enhance the understanding between the East and the West and the Sino-US friendship. It adheres to the tenet of safeguarding legal rights of worldwide Chinese artists and serving them. The league provides extensive services to friendship gatherings, academic seminars and exhibition activities of Chinese artists in the United States, China and the world.

The league has more than 4,000 original painters and artists in the United States and around the world, and has branches in more than 20 countries and regions around the world. So far, it is one of the largest and most inclusive cultural and artistic organizations in the world.

Since the founding, the league has more than once organized demonstrations and protests in the United States to fight for legitimate rights of artists, and organized and united artists in New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles to jointly appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, striving to add the clause of “strictly prohibit the arrest of artists” to the First Amendment of the Federal Constitution of the United States. The league has won the legitimate interest of all artists in the United States having the freedom of creation in the open air.

Since its establishment in 1999, the league has held dozens of exhibitions of calligraphy, paintings and various artworks in the United States, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. In April 2017, the First Congress of the Global Artist League was held in Beijing. More than 200 representatives, honored guests, artists and Chinese and foreign media reporters from more than 10 countries around the world and from various branches in the United States and China actively attended the congress.

The effective service and remarkable contributions of the league have been affirmed and encouraged by leaders of the United States, China and the UN. The former U.S. president Bill Clinton, George Bush, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary Wang Guangya of the People’s Republic of China to the UN, the ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Washington Zhou Wenzhong and leaders of Beijing, Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, the literary federation, the Association of Arts and the Association of Books have sent congratulatory letters and telegrams and issued certificate of merit to the Global Artist League successively.

The Global Artist League is willing to join hands with artists from the United States, China and all over the world to make great achievements!
