The International Artists in Sweden should not be seen as a way to isolate the immigrated artists from their Swedish collegues but as a way to increase the relations between immigrants and Swedes within the field of arts as well as in other fields of our society.

The International Artists in Sweden welcome all immigrated artists to join and work for common questions and to work for the realization of the objectives above.

The membership fee is 200 sek per year to be paid to plusgiro 431 91 42-8.
